Phase 1 Complete; on to refinements

Finished the last of my 23 upper and lower aligners. Orthodontist says there are a couple of teeth he would like to move a bit more. He also said that it looks like some of the upper incisors needing to come down more are not likely to move much - that type of movement is generally tough for Invisalign, and with my veneers it makes it even more difficult. He said he will try, but not to expect much; that new veneers will make everything look great (though I am not looking forward to the expense of all new veneers).

Meanwhile, he ground off my attachments and took new impressions for refinements. He expect 5-10 aligners for round 2, followed by retainers which he will make in-office. They also took new photos. Will post when available.

The last aligners feel strange without attachments - there is no "click" to know they are properly placed, and they are much easier to remove. He told me to wear the aligners only at night until the refinements are in - he is hoping some of the teeth in the back will "settle in" - with Invisalign the aligner prevents full contact of the teeth, so they need time without aligners to get into final positions.
