to be decided January 2nd - my happier new year.
These pics are for kitcat - showing my aligners in today. Not sure if they help much - seeing them on someone in real life while they're talking & smiling gives you the real picture.

My upper left attachment can be seen better in the second shot here:

Thank you for the pics. I can sort of tell you are wearing them, but I guess this pic is really up close. Your teeth don't look that bad at all. I have crowded teeth, so I hope if I do decide to go through with it, no one will notice........again,,,,,,,,thanks........kitcat
WOOO HOOO! look at those teeth! Wow I'm jealous. The only way I can tell that you have the aligners in is your teeth are shiney, otherwise I wouldnt be able to tell at all. I only have one more aligner to go and I'm kinda nervous. My teeth haven't moved as much as they are suppose to ekks. My ortho said he would be thinking of ways to "finish the job". He said maybe putting a wire bonded to the back bottom teeth. I don't think you get free refinements with express unfortunately.

Excellent results just in time for the New Year too! Congratulations!
Mine have been giving similar good results and I've got a few more lower aligners to go, only moving out one lower tooth behind a canine. Should be done in mid Feb and I only need refinement to try to push one lower lateral incisor down vertically a bit. I hope to get cosmetic bonding on one front upper tooth to lengthen it due to a slight chip to get it matching with the other front tooth which is longer. Almost there after being on this journey for about a year now!
kitcat - you're welcome. Let us know what you think after you see the ones in person that you told us about at the forum. Keep in mind, you will be looking FOR THEM - it's still not as obvious when someone isn't even aware you're wearing them.
Oh Penny - sorry to hear those teeth aren't cooperating fully as expected! Actually some refinements can be done using the Invisalign or Essix type retainers as well - maybe the wire will do the trick if it's only minor movements that you'll still need. That last aligner just might be the ticket - don't give up yet.
BB - thanks. It's great you're still doing so well. This past year's gone by so quickly for me. Still very anxious to get these buttons off so I can do the whitening - I really am getting impatient regarding that. I have a feeling I'll be in refinement for a few months months yet...we'll see next week for sure. Keep us posted.
Happy Holidays, All!
Anne
