New Invisiligns

Both Graham and Charlie had their new Invisiligns "installed" a week ago.  I say "installed" because they had to go into the orthodontist and get these "bumps" glued onto their teeth!

Here's what their Invisiligns/retainers look like.  One for each - upper and lower teeth:
These nubbies/bumps go on the surface of some of their teeth (determined after their scans) and are glued on by UV light.  Amazing!
Each boy gets to go home with some "chewies" which they have to chew on for at least 10 minutes a day.  That way, their teeth are able to adjust to their retainers quicker.  Merry Christmas, boys! LOL!!
Okay, Graham's turn!
The gadget that's used to keep their lips away from their teeth is the funniest thing!
After the gluing process, Graham had to download an App on his phone: 
Unlike Charlie, Graham will actually need to scan his teeth after every week!  And that information gets submitted into the orthodontist's office:
I'm glad I don't have to help Charlie with this one.  Graham came home with 2 boxes of 15 sets of retainers and Charlie came home with a box of 20 sets.  Let the fixin' begin!!
