the camera’s ready, prepare to flash
This morning I had a photo shoot with my orthodontist. She took stills of my face, profile, and tons of fun stuffs in my mouth. There were mirrors, stretching things, and a ring flash the size of Mt. Rushmore in my word hole.
After the photo fun was over, she made a bite impression, an upper, and lower impression of my teeth. It was really quick and easy, far easier than I remember when I’d previously had impressions. Right now, as I’m typing this, the purple replicas of my mouth are being whisked off to the Align company to scan into their systems and make the computer animation that will show how my teeth will move during the next year.
Step one is done. Now all I do is wait for a phone call from the doctor’s office. Step two is the consultation, where we review the animation and talk about the length of treatment and stuff. I’m not sure when it all begins, but I’m anxious to get it started. By this time next year, I should have purrrfectly aligned lower teeth.
Yay.
