6/1/17
It's been about a year since I've been going through the Invisalign process. Right now I'm on tray 5 of 27 of the additional set I have to do. So far in total I've gone through 38 (my first set was 33 plus the 5 from this set). I'm still changing trays every week. Still have about 6 months left. My birthday is in January so I really hope I'm done by then!
Additional trays and attachments
So last time I went to the orthodontist was 4/4/17 and I was told I would need additional trays so they did new scans and sent them in to get the trays. I didn't ask at that time, but I figured I would only need maybe 10 additional trays or so. I went to the orthodontist today because my new trays arrived and they added attachments to my my front teeth and a couple more to my bottom teeth, they also did something called "slenderizing". Slenderizing is basically when the orthodontist takes a little strip of something very similar to sand paper and uses it between certain teeth to help them rotate. So he essentially sanded in between my teeth but theres no noticeable gaps or anything. I'm a little upset though because the attachments on my front teeth are definitely noticeable. But I'm even more upset at the fact that I'll be needing 24-27 additional trays. Thankfully they're still having me switch them every week rather than every two weeks but it still sucks a little. That means I'll be wearing trays for another 6-7 months. I was really excited to be done but I guess it is what it is.
Tray 33 out of 34
Had an orthodontist appointment 4/4/17, unfortunately I'll be needing additional trays beyond tray 34 so it'll be another month or two before I'm done with treatment. It was a little discouraging as I'm so ready to be done BUT I'm glad my orthodontist wants my teeth to look perfect.
