Still at it!
My initial set of aligners (28) took me nearly two years to complete as my doctor had me move to a new set once every three weeks. My second set of 22 aligners took me a little over a year to slog through. So, yes, I am going on three years and we are still working on them. I am starting my honest to goodness very last set of 15 aligners, at a new set each two weeks, to see if we can get my bottom teeth just a tweak straighter. I am not bummed that there have been no miracles. My mouth presented a very difficult case and the change in my bite is amazing. I really appreciate the dedication of my orthodontist and I am sure I will be satisfied with the final result. Once done I plan on investing in whitening and I will have the smile I always wanted.
A New Start
My new course of treatment includes 22 more sets of trays (My first course, which I finished in December, included 28). I was dismayed by the number of new trays, but my doctor included one small silver lining, I only have to wear each set for two weeks instead of my usual three, so I will be done faster. I received several new attachments that are very difficult to see in the picture. I suppose that is good as two are on that "long" central incisor and one on the wonky lateral incisor next to it. I also received one new attachment on one of my bottom teeth. I have no illusions that I will achieve perfection, but a little straighter would be great. Then? Yeah, teeth whitening, ha ha. If and when I see some progress, I'll post another pic.
Not Surprised
I received my "last" set of trays at the beginning of December, but my dentist and I both acknowledged that the final set would not leave me with the results we wanted so a new set of trays have been ordered. I am concerned about several things. First, I have been wearing this last set for nearly two months now and they don't actually feel THAT loose. I mean they pop in easily enough, but I still have to "dig" a little to get them off. I wonder if my teeth have stopped moving! Second, I am a little anxious about how many, and where, additional attachments I will need and how many new sets of trays I will receive. I don't want another 28 sets! I'll report back when I get the news and I will post a new "Day One" photo...i.e. Day One of Set Two.
