Tray # 15

Hello.
Had my usual 6 week check-up with the dentist on Thursday, I had a different dentist, she will be following my case (sharing with my usual dentist), she is really nice and is a perfectionist when it comes to perfect teeth! LOL!
She said we need to watch one of my bottom teeth as it is a bit stubborn and if it doesn't move to where it is supposed to then I might need a couple of extra attachments and wear a rubberband!!!??? She said that would be the worse case scenario so i'm hoping this tooth will be ok. She did some polishing in between this tooth and another one to help make a bit more room. I have a proper round of IPR due in May (I have had 2 lots so far) so hopefully that should do the trick. She said its nothing to worry about at the moment cos all my teeth are exactly where they should be so thats good!
I changed over to tray # 15 that night and it has been a bit difficult to get off the top one on the left-hand side, but it was the same with tray # 14. Dentist said that sometimes it can be the make of the trays, that it usually comes in 3's..... which makes sense cos I had 3 trays all in a row that had a slight crack in the same place on each of them but none of my other trays prior or since had that crack so I am hoping the difficulty in getting my top tray out will no longer be a problem after my next tray.
I am officially half way through treatment!!!!! Woo - hoo!!!!! I am sooooooooo hoping i won't need refinements! I want to be done and all finished at the planned end date being mid september. I just can't wait to be able to snack, eat when I want for how long I want without watching the clock and without worrying about having to brush my teeth after each meal - especially when out in public!

6 months in already!!!!

I can't believe I have been wearing invisalign now for 6 months already!!! Time really has flown by! Christmas & New Years has been and gone...... have had my trays out a bit longer than usual due to lots of EATING & DRINKING!!!! but still averaging about 20 - 21 hours per day. Its hard to keep them in for the recommended 22 hours when you are on holiday!!! Anyway, thought I would attach a pic showing me wearing my trays with my whole face rather than just my teeth so you can get a good idea of how my teeth are looking.

The top pic was taken 2 years ago and the bottom one taken a couple of days ago (however wearing my trays minimise the gap so already my teeth look way better, but still have a long way to go).
