Got 'em in!

Well, I got 12 attachments, three on each side, top and bottom (you can see them in the photo here). Everything went no problem except maybe 10 seconds of pain at the site where the extraction was Friday. An interesting thing was that as I was leaving I had a question, my own ortho had just stepped out so the other ortho came over, and when she leaned in close to check my attachment I saw she had them on! She said her experience has also been very positive so far.

When I came home, our au pair thought I'd had something happen and not gotten them on after all - yep, they ARE invisible! The lisping is very minor, I would be comfortable if I had to give a speech at work right now. They gave me wax and instructions on the best way to file my aligners if I need to smooth an edge that bothers me. Right now they feel tight but not painful, and I was able to take them out no problem for the hygienist 3 times (thanks to Anne for the paper towel trick, it REALLY helped!) Hopefully it will be as easy tonight at dinner.

So far the experience is very positive, and I'm so happy I decided to do it. Let's see how I feel tomorrow when I have to get the stitches out from my extraction! Here's how they look from the front:
