Bottom teeth progress update

I wanted to post a pic of the progress so far with my bottom teeth. We're getting close!! I can't wait to see the same progress on top. It looks like there's going to be more movement up top during the last half of my treatment.

Worried about tracking
overjet15July 24, 2015
I called my orthodontist today and made an appointment for next Thursday. I noticed two more attachments are missing and that one of my front teeth seems to have a pretty big space between it and the aligner. I've noticed it before but it seems bigger to me now so I'm worried that I might need something adjusted. I've been missing attachments on some of my back teeth since my extractions at the beginning of my treatment. My orthodontist hasn't been worried about it though and hasn't replaced them. When I called today they weren't worried about the additional two that are missing now but said they wanted me to come in to have the spacing checked. I've attached a picture and would love to hear if anyone else has experienced this. I'm hoping it's nothing and won't require a mid-treatment correction. :-(

Update: The orthodontist did a bit of IPR to help the top tray fit better. He's not concerned about the missing attachments because he said he put extra on. He's satisfied with my progress so gave me 5 more trays and sent me on my way. :-)

Making good progress! I'm having the same problem with tracking on the exact same tooth. I started noticing it's a space at the bottom of my retainer as well. I have an appointment on September 8th so I'll mention it to my orthodontist then. Does it seem like that tooth isn't moving/being corrected? Or have things gotten better since then?

The spacing happens occasionally don't worry. If you Dr gave you some chewies use them on a daily basis. It might hurt a bit, but in the long run it will keep you aligners on track, and keep your teeth snug inside the alighner.

Tray 15, Day 1
overjet15July 11, 2015
It's been awhile since I posted. I'm finally starting to see a difference myself in my bottom teeth. The last two trays (13 and 14) have really been tight when I put them in so I guess it's getting serious now. LOL! I've been trying to keep them in longer each day to help things along. I've also been chewing on my chewie every day. I don't know if it will make a difference or not but I tell myself it is. ;-) I really like being able to change trays every 10 days so want to do everything I can to stay on that schedule. I tried to piece together side by side pictures to show the progress of my teeth (January to July, 2015).
