Ya'll! I'm not kidding when I say I went in for my appt today and this dentist did not know what my pul tool was! 🤣 like howwwwww? You're selling and treating invisalign patients day and and day out and have never heard of this?

Anywho, 2 other important things:

  1. I said I didn't want more IPR last time. I didn't refuse. Just said I didn't want it but would get it if it was really needed. That was aeound tray 24 I think? I'm now onto tray 30/40. They checked me out and said I was tracking just fine with no further IPR other than my initial starting IPR! Also, my clin check was showing .5 on several teeth. He was positive I didn't really need it. Just said to call if things started feeling crowded or trays stop seating properly.

  2. The really great news for me was that the last movement occurs on tray 36/40! Meaning the last 4 trays are passive and only holding my teeth in place 🙌 this was the best news I've received in quite a while! So tired of being hungry and not wanting to remove my trays. I miss snacking. I cannot wait for this to be over! Almost wonder if everything is tracking due to strict compliance and it saved me some IPR?

Anyone have similar experience?

Does anyone get IPR on top? I ask bc have a follow up Wednesday, and my upper teeth are HURTING. I'm on tray 30/40. And only had IPR on bottom. My bite is feeling pretty good and aligned. But wondering how all these teeth are going to fit correctly and still have a good bite? I still have an incisor that is more forward than the rest if that makes sense? Just wondering what I should bring up to my ortho when I go
