Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I had progress molds taken many, many times before the ortho decided I was good enough. At least 6 month's worth, maybe a bit more. I, too, was so hopeful when we got that far, only to find out that it's another two months ... no, two more ... well, let's tweak this and wait two more ... And I really, really hate having the impressions taken. Sorry if this isn't what you were hoping to hear.
