New Treatment / 98 Aligners+Elastics - Distalization

Total trays was 98 I am now on number 49

98!?! How often do you change them?

I change them every 4 days. I can actually feel my teeth settling by the end of the 3rd day,and love the snug pain of a new on the 4th.

Yes I have asked but one of the Dr. has stated that it would be impossible to get this much overjet reduction. He didn't how much though would be possible either. On doing some research I have read several clinicians have provided their recommendations for slenderization. Boese23 recommends slenderizing half the enamel layer thickness. Berrer31 claims that lower incisors can be stripped by 0.4 mm, which corresponds to a 0.5 mm slenderizing per proximal surface of the lower incisors. Paskow32 allows slenderizing of between 0.25 mm and 0.37 mm. Hudson27 suggests 0.20 mm for central incisors, 0.25 mm for the lateral ones, and 0.30 mm for the lower cuspids, which gives a total of 3 mm for the whole anterior group. Tuverson33 states 0.3 mm per proximal surface of the lower incisors and 0.4 mm in cuspids, which gives, in total, the elimination of 4 mm in the anterior group. Alexander18 permits only 0.25 mm for all the teeth, and Sheridan34 defends a 0.8 mm slenderizing per each surface of posterior teeth and 0.25 mm in the anterior teeth, gaining in total some 8.9 mm. The concept of removing half the enamel layer would seem to be clinically acceptable. According to Fillión35, it is possible to obtain 10.2 mm of space in the maxilla and 8.6 mm in the mandible if slenderizing is carried out from the mesial surface of the first right molar to the same surface of the left molar. If slenderizing includes the second molar, an additional 0.5 mm in distal surface of the first molar and 0.5 mm in mesial surface of the second molar can be obtained. Reference I can be provide if needed. So this brings me back to the same question, maybe I should have asked it differently, like how much overjet reduction IS possible with 10mm of space, and why it would be impossible. Yes the video looks very impressive, but they can use a bit of fine tuning in my personal opinion. Please keep in mind that the movements in the videos are provided by the Align technician, I cannot confirm they 100% biologically and physically possible in my mouth. I wish some of the doctors on this forum could look at them and tell me what they think.

I went and looked at the three answers that doctors had given to your two different questions.  Since you're right, that the ClinCheck is not always accurate, and since you have gotten concerning answers from the doctors, I would seriously consider getting another opinion from another doctor in the flesh.  If you wish to have our doctors look over your new ClinChecks, you'll have to ask another question and include them (and that is totally acceptable.  Your questions are good ones and valid, so don't hesitate to ask another.)  The doctors aren't notified about updates to users' reviews, so they wouldn't know to look here.  Occasionally one of them will stumble across something, but it's relatively rare.
