Comments on: Invisalign Refinements- Is This A New World Record?! http://myinvisalignblog.com/2010/06/invisalign-refinements-is-this-a-new-world-record.html The Creation Of My Hollywood Smile Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:13:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: admin http://myinvisalignblog.com/2010/06/invisalign-refinements-is-this-a-new-world-record.html/comment-page-1#comment-942 admin Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:39:10 +0000 http://myinvisalignblog.com/?p=1197#comment-942 Hi there Sarah, The reason I didn't take it out was that after the failed attempt by my dentist I saw a few oral surgeons. They weren't convinced that they could get it out without damaging the teeth on either side because the roots were all wrapped around each other. Also making a gap would make it even harder to bring my bottom teeth forward enough. When I saw Brett Kerr he thought he could get my teeth straight without the extraction so I wanted to try that. The other thing is that I have a heart arrhythmia so I try and avoid general anaesthetic where possible. All of these things together made me too scared to try and get it pulled again!

I'm wondering why you didn't just have it yanked out? I know you mentioned the problems with the dentists trying to get it out... still, I had 4 wisdom teeth taken out at the same time (under gen. anaesthetic of course!) and it worked out perfectly. Just looking at the tooth makes me think I would have had it taken out. So yeah, wondering what your thoughts on that were.

I wonder whether she is now finished.. I also love to read everyone's blogs- blogs were what convinced me to get these things in the first place (as well as being sick of looking at my ugly teeth!) Anyway, thanks again for reading and commenting, getting comments makes it all feel worthwhile! Hi there,

I loved reading how you progressed!! I am on set 5 out of 35 upper and 35 lower, so I have a long way to go....approximately 18mths/2yrs Before I started my invisalign I read every blog I could find online. There is a lady that at the point of her last blog entry needed 85 in total I believe. Tho this was in 2009 and she wasn't even done yet, I will attach her link for you to check out. Besides you she is the only other person I have read about needing that many aligners and years of treatment! http://invisilulu.blogspot.com/ Great blog! I loved reading how you progressed!!

I'm new to Invisalign so I haven't got you beat on the number of aligners yet but I bet I will be in the running down the road. I'm currently on tray 4 of 42 (top) and 25 (bottom) and I don't even have any "wayward" teeth. Wait till I go for refinements ..... I love your blog!
