I changed to my second one last night and I feel like it's a real milestone, daft as that may sound. It felt like a really long two weeks!
It’s weird how quick it’s going in lol not complaining tho hahaha
Yea I’m the same once I have finished short term Invisalign.
I kind of want the fixed one though
I’m so worried that my teeth might shift over time.Sames, I will 100% loose itI kind of want the fixed one though
I’m getting a normal one just to use at night because I have a problem with bruxism (which is part of the reason I ended up with jaw problems and misaligned teeth in the first place)
I’ve had 14 weeks and then 10 weeks. I’ve finished now and just waiting for my bonding to be done and then I get my retainer.
I have 14 trays in total so 30 weeks give or take. one of the first thing i queried about was a fixed retainer, i definitely would try to get one! It's really bizarre they said you won't need it
Sorry really late to this, I don’t know if it’s “express” as that’s not a word my dentist ever used but I had 12 weeks / 12 aligners to move 3 teeth and I’m really happy with the results. The first few weeks getting to grips with the trays were not my fav but all in very happy, progress happened really quickly.
I mean, if it’s included In what I have paid, I should get a fixed one
I did ask if I’d get both at the beginning of my treatment and I was told it would be visible through the black triangles I now have in between my teeth. But some of them have closed up and I’m getting bonding to fill in the spaces…. So I don’t see why I can’t have a fixed one.I've been told I'll have black triangles but have been advised to have a fixed retainer on top and bottom. They aren't part of the treatment plan though and will cost £150 per arch. I'm planning on having them as £300 more seems a sensible amount to pay to protect as best I can from tooth shift.I mean, if it’s included In what I have paid, I should get a fixed one
10 trays in total
I'm meant to change to my 3rd on Fri but my dentist only gave me two, so I have to wait until my appointment on Monday to get it. The extra days feel like ages!
Ahhhh no!!! I’d be the sameI'm meant to change to my 3rd on Fri but my dentist only gave me two, so I have to wait until my appointment on Monday to get it. The extra days feel like ages!
