I had my orthodontist appointment today, but didn't realize I wouldn't be seeing the orthodontist or the assistant. I got pictures taken of my teeth (just like before I started Invisalign), had a bite impression done (I think that's what it's called?) and then the dreaded gag-inducing goopy purple molds of my tops and bottoms.
I basically have to wait two weeks - as long as Invisalign accepts the molds, and there isn't too much back-and-forth between Invisalign and my orthodontist regarding the Clincheck - before I go in for my refinement trays. I REALLY hope I don't have many trays, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up either.
One thing I was surprised about was that my attachments were left on. I thought for sure they'd be removed before I had the molds done, but it was never addressed and I decided not to ask. I guess (hope) Invisalign can account for the attachments and "remove" them, so to speak, from the Clincheck, if I don't need them anymore? I don't mind the attachments, but I'd rather they come off!
No pictures, since no changes (I'm still wearing Tray 32/19)... but if my orthodontist photos show up on my online account, I"ll post them here. Will be really neat to get the side-by-side comparison of August 2012 and now!
