My mouth dropped along with my heart. All I could think about was that the amount of work we had put in would go to waste and now I'd have another year of this (he didn't actually say it would be a year- I'm just exaggerating). OMG! I didn't want to walk around looking like I had before. I mean, how would I explain it to everyone who had been following my progress. I was so disappointed. And it didn't help that my sister's wedding, in which I was the Maid of Honor, was right around the corner. Talk about a major setback.
Of course I asked him questions and wondered why it had to be 3 whole months. He answered politely, but at that point I felt like he was just giving up on me. I know that wasn't the case, but you can just imagine all of my emotions in that single 5-minute phone call.
I started noticing a difference the very next day after not wearing my aligners. I became really sad as my teeth began to spread apart. They don't look terrible even today, but not nearly as beautiful as they were becoming. Ugh!
My next appointment is August 12th, where he will do another set of impressions. It better work out this time.
