- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

On to the refinement stage
Hello all. I'm sorry I am so terrible at updating this. Well. I finally finished all 18 trays of my original treatment. My orthodontist wasn't happy yet so he ordered me some refinement trays to do some fine tuning. I have 11 trays now that I'll wear for 10 days each instead of 14 and some lovely new attatchments. At the end I'll get the wire put behind my bottom teeth so that they don't happen to shift again. Overall I can't complain about treatment. I've adjusted to removing them quite well and I barely have any discomfort except for maybe a day or so after changing to new trays. I've learned that if I change them before bed that it really helps with the discomfort since I'm sleeping anyways. I'll post a few pictures. This is only 8 months into treatment and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to see what happens in these next few months! Any questions feel free to ask :)
Wahoo tray 7!
Holy cow times flies! Can't believe I'm already on tray 7/18!! I'm not going to lie I was feeling discouraged up until my last ortho appt which was a few weeks ago. I didn't really feel like I've seen any changes but now looking back at older pictures I can definitely see a change. So quick update. My trays come in and out super quick and easy now, I can take them out in a matter of seconds. I only have slight discomfort when I first start my set of aligners which thanks to everyone on here I change them at night before bed. They're still really unnoticeable which i love. I have my next appt for tray 10, which I'll get my enamel shaved down to help my teeth move. So I'll update again after that. :)
A quick update on tray 2
Well guys I'm on day 4 of my second trays. after reading tons of reviews on here I decided it was best to change my trays before bedtime (and it was the best choice ever). I was nervous about changing trays as I was expecting it to be similar to when I first got Invisalign (ya know, uncomfortable, tough to take in and out yada yada yada) and to my surprise it wasn't anything like it. I put tray 2 in and it fit like a glove. Obviously you could feel pressure but nothing drastic. By the time I woke up the next day my mouth was feeling good and surprisingly it was just as quick to take The aligners in and out. This time I've had some sensitivity to a few of my teeth (mostly the bottom crowded ones) but hopefully it's a good thing! I'm not going to post any photos this time as you obviously can't see a change quite yet! But so far so good :)
