mini update and photo

Hi everyone,
In five days I go for my appointment, THE APPOINTMENT!!! Just thought I would share a quick update with you - my teeth huuuurt :( They are still incredibly sensitive to pressure, hot, cold, anything, air, food, gum, toothpaste, mouthwash, water, etc etc. Also I am sharing a photo with you all - these are my rubber bands in perspective - see how small they are!!! That's why it hurt so much when my teeth were first starting to pull!

And yes this is completely un-blog-related, but Scoobie says HI!

And that his waggy tail is evidence that he secretly loves his turtle coat: I call him teenage mutant ninja scoobie

See, what an awesome little update - I bet you werent expecting doggie photos!

Disappointing appointment

Hello there everyone in cyber-space.

Just thought I'd update you - it's not much of an update to be honest, but I thought I should be a good blogger and keep you up to speed coz even the smallest thing for someone can install fear/happiness in others.
Yesterday I went to the orthodontist for what I very excitedly and wholeheartedly thought was THE DAY - when I get all my attachments taken off and my teeth shaped into the beautiful pearly whites I have always dreamed of getting. my appointment was at 4.30, and even though I knew, and they knew, that my appointment was going to be a long one, they didn't mention to me anything that would make me think otherwise.
Upon arriving, my orthodontist looked at my teeth and explained that he would start shaping them. Great I think. But after a while it became clear to me that not everything would be done in this appointment as it was getting rather close to 5pm, their closing time. Now forgive me for whinging, but surely, when my teeth alone are generating over 7 thousand dollars for their business, half an hour of over time won't hurt, considering they don't actually have to work it to pay bills like us common folk, and for the reason that I had to take unpaid time off work and spend around $40 petrol to get to my appointment, I find it a bit rude that they made me reschedule for another day, a middle of the day appointment, where I have to take even MORE time off.

Rant over - I am quite happy at how my teeth are shaping up! All the "notches" are being taken out and my teeht being smoothed into normal shapes. This does cause some sensitivity to my teeth but it's not too bad and I am told it will lessen with time, in the mean time I am to use a desensitizing toothpaste as a ointment twice a day.

In two weeks time I will be back there, at 4pm whith a whole hour up my sleeve, to get the rest done. This includes taking new moulds for my retainers.

I hope this was a good little update for you, although there is no not much progress to report I'm sure if you are interested in Invisalign, any information from humans you can get your hands on is a plus.

Til next time :)
