A bit of a set back.....

Tonight I was meant to change over to tray # 21 but at my dentist appointment today no such luck! I have a problem bottom tooth that is very stubborn and hasn't moved to where it is supposed to be. My dentist did some more IPR, removed the button on that tooth then glued on a hook thing, adjusted my bottom tray to fit over the hook thing and then attached a rubber-band on to it and now I have to keep wearing tray # 20 for another week until I see him again next thursday to see if that stubborn tooth has moved!!! Its a bit of a set back delaying a week BUT he did say that it was either do this or wait until treatment is finished and then get more trays made up (refinements) to try and move the tooth, so fixing it now is probably the best idea.... annoying in the short term having to wear a rubber-band but fantastic in the long term if it means I won't need refinements! The rubber-band is tiny! a bit fiddely to put on & take off but he gave me tweezer type things to help with that. Also, my tongue is sooooo sore because he had to cut part of the tray for the rubber-band to hook from one side of the tray to the glued-on hook on my tooth, so the cut part keeps rubbing against my tongue when I talk etc..... hopefully will get used to it. I got a packet of rubber-bands to last for the week so should be an interesting week! and I can sure feel the pressure on the stubborn tooth with the rubber-band so hopefully this plan will work!
