Aligner # 6

$5,200
I am not seeing much changes from my pictures but everyone else says they see a difference. Not quite sure how I feel about it right now.

dolivier's provider

Dr. T. Kirk Crane, DDS

I have been going to Dr. Crane for nearly 9 years. He is wonderful. I have had quite a but of extensive work done in my mouth in these years. I am looking forward to seeing what he will do with my Invisalign treatments.

With 29 aligners, 6 trays in is waaaay too soon to expect to see stuff!  And since you have lots of spacing, you won't feel a big difference when you floss either.  Maybe you'll feel a difference on your bottom arch. :)  What is discouraging you?  Are you feeling pain or discomfort or experiencing anything else negative?
I can see a difference! The gap between your central incisors is smaller and your bottom teeth look a little less overlapping.

and They are On!

After an hour in the chair and 14 buttons later, I now have my 1st set of aligners on!! Looks like 29 sets of aligners, but my teeth will be closely monitored due to some of the bone loss. We do not want the Invisalign to do more damage. We may have to stop if he sees unwanted changes.
I am adding 2 photos of my mouth with the aligners on.

What is this bone loss of which you speak?  What was the cause?  I know that sometimes there is unwanted resorption of tooth roots during orthodontic treatment--is that what they're watching for?  And are those regular attachments or the buttons they use for rubber bands?  Thanks for updating!

The bone loss is from the prior recession of my gums. It's regular attachments.

Ohhh.  I have lots of gum recession and huge pieces missing from my teeth up there, with canines and pre-molars.  So ugly.  Wish I knew how to fix it.

Wow! I had a LOT of dental work done as well before I could get started with Invisalign. Looking forward to your updates, my treatment consists of 30 trays, so we're pretty close together on our finishing dates :P
Best wishes!!! :)
