I got my new liners on last wednesday (so a week ago lol). I am now on Phase 2. That wld be liners 2A. These aligners are moving more of my front right side. I have felt more pain here than with any other movement. Been a week and still tender. But that's ok bc I am loving my results. I'm finally going to post a pic lol. In the pic to left is right before I got my aligners. And pic on righy is today. (5 aligners later).

thank u! I am SO VERY excited. I have hated my teeth and smile my whole life. I always hid it and always thought ppl stare at my teeth when I talk. I have had so many compliments on my smile.

It's been a while since you have updated, how are things going? How did you do with treatment during the holidays? I found it a little touch at dinners & gatherings getting the trays back in, in a timely matter.

At a stand still
I went in last Wednesday to start my Phase 2 (5 pair of liners) but the bottom right side didn't fit correctly. So that saying, my bottom had to be remolded and be sent back for all new bottom aligners. So I'm at a stand still unfortunately. I'm glad my dentist trusted his instincts and went ahead and got me all new aligners. Makes me feel more comfortable with him.
But before all this, he put space in between a couple teeth (so that way my teeth can be pushed back. Better than pulling teeth of course (; ) Nd put 2 new buttons on two upper right teeth.
I have seen movement and improvent in my teeth?

When you say he put space, do you mean he filed space, like Interproximal Reduction (IPR)? Or do you mean he made space just using the aligners/trays first, and then will move the teeth back together with them?

No I mean he made space between my teeth bc I have no room. My teeth are being pushed back. He did this to teeth in back of mouth. I mean it's micro spacing. I can't even notice. I'd rather have this done that having teeth pulled to just have straight teeth. That was reason I didn't want braces bc they wanted to pull teeth to make room.
But yes he made tiny micro spacing. I can tell me teeth are straightening.

new liners
I am now currently on 4 of 16. Still Phase 1. I CAN tell a difference in my front and bottom teeth. My bottom teeth were overlapped a tad. Not any more :) I can also tell that my top front teeth are starting to close (gaps). Also during my last visit I got 2 buttons on bottom. They are on my bottom teeth. They are not noticeable at all. I can feel them when my liners are out. I go back June 6 I believe. lol. I will then get 2 more sets. I know some ppl change every 2 weeks but according to my dentist, he does NOT want my teeth to shift to fast. They are already shifting fast as it is. He doesn't want to over do it. Which I am thankful for. I will post new pictures after my next liners.
So far I am VERY pleased.

Three weeks is the standard amount of time for Clear Correct :). No worries! So glad to hear you're seeing progress. It helps with motivation, doesn't it? :D
I'm the community manager, and I just wanted to let you know that the dental forums are not that easy for people to find. Usually people just write their own review, and people come and comment there. You can ask questions and post pictures and stuff there, so most people just do that (you can't post pictures in comments in forums). If you'd like to make a review, you can use this link.
