Tray 16!

I'm on tray 16 and am still happy with everything. I was allowed to go back to two weeks per tray starting with tray 13 and that definitely speeds up the process. As it stands now, I should be done mid-September. The dentist did mention that it was likely I would need a few refinement trays. At first I was annoyed at the thought but I'm over it. I'm hoping to be finished with Invisalign completely by the end of this year.

I'm now on tray 12 of 20 and things are going pretty smoothly. I've had to keep the last few sets of trays on for three weeks rather than two and that's really slowed down the process. I am going to ask if I can go back to two weeks per tray when I go in for my next appointment. By the time the third week rolls around the trays are really hard to get and keep clean. In fact, I find them a bit gross despite lots of brushing, cleaning and flossing. Otherwise everything seems to be on track.

I am now on tray nine and have definitely noticed a huge difference in my front teeth. One of my front teeth was overlapping the other and that is now mostly gone.
My bottom teeth don't look a huge amount different to me. In fact, one of my bottom teeth wasn't "tracking" (moving, I guess) properly so I had to leave both trays seven and eight in for an extra week. Because of the difficulty in moving by bottom teeth, I now have to keep the rest of my trays in for three weeks instead of the previous two. Annoying but as the dentist said, there's no point rushing through the process and being unhappy at the end.
I will be very excited to get tray 10 on - half way!

I can understand why you would be bummed at the thought of having to do refinement trays, but hey, at least your dentist told you now rather than finding out in September. That would have been a major drag. Hoping things continue to move quick so you can stay on the 2 week schedule from here on out!
