Eight weeks ago today I was at the orthodontist beginning the Invisalign process.
The only reason I bring this up is because on that day he told me that I would have my first set of aligners and could actually beginning wearing them “in six to eight weeks.”
And here it is, eight weeks later, and I still have not received them.
I’ve never been a patient person. Ever. I’m definitely a member of Generation Instant Gratification. These past eight weeks have been torturous for me. I’ve been waiting years for this, and now that the process had finally begun, I was forced to sit and wait another six to eight weeks before it could actually begin.
I called their offices a few days ago just to track my case and check the status of things and was told that the doctor was in the middle of making some adjustments to my procedure, and once those were finished, it would be about a week until they had the aligners in their offices for me to finally start wearing.
On one hand it’s really frustrating that it’s taking so long. But on the other hand…it’s still really frustrating that it’s taking so long.
I know that it’s better for me that he goes over things with a fine-toothed comb and makes these adjustments. I would much better he do things perfectly than do things fast. It would be ideal, of course, if it could be done both perfectly and fast.
I guess that part of this that has me the most frustrated is that even though I haven’t been able to start using the Invisalign yet, I’ve still been billed twice and already had to fork over more than 10% of the total cost.
You can’t give me the product I’m paying for in a timely fashion, but you can still charge me right on schedule? Yeah, I get it.
If you need me, I’ll be right here. Twiddling my thumbs. Just waiting for my Tardy Teeth.
I hear ya! I’ve been attempting to get my claim into the company for reimbursement for relocation. However, nobody I contacted initially seems to know what I need to do. So, here I am 1.5 weeks and maybe tomorrow I may actually get the claim submitted. And then, there’s the other question of a raise I’ve yet to see a penny of from my old job. The raise was granted in January of this year and I left at the end of March. When it is your money they like to hold on to if for awhile. When it is their money, they want it now or you can go fly a kite. Next!

Why is it taking so long? You would think during this process many times it would have been planned out better, like the payments.
Hang in there! It will be here before you know it and you will get to enjoy having sore teeth why they move.

Those things totally do not work. Way to waste your money.
