End of Tray 8.
I have been pretty bad with this tray. So Im a little late on changing it out. However, my teeth... hurt. where my gap is closing, my gums are all inflamed and swollen and it hurts. Also, I noticed only two out of 4 back teeth they have moving forward (the 4th one being my wisdom tooth, I didnt expect to move anyway) I have attached pictures from the end of this tray. Tonight I will be moving on to Tray 9.
Tray 8
OKAYYYYYYYY, this tray is TIGHT.... like when I put it in, I had to literally shove it in, it made my teeth hurt SO bad. It almost felt like I skipped trays or something.......
As for improvements.... the gap is almost closed, I cant even stick my tongue between those two teeth (on the left upper side) so theres def improvement there... however, the tooth next to the front middle one, now has a gap.... which to me is unattractive, I dont want a gap at the front of my smile :( and I noticed my "canine" teeth arent even anymore in my mouth, ones is more towards the front, and the other side is scooted more towards the back of my mouth, which is odd (if that makes sense) NOW, The bottom right side where the tooth was turned slightly.... well its pushed my other tooth (bottom middle) back so the front bottom two, are off set... when they use to be straight. Thats now an area of concern for me.
With all that being said... I went and looked at my treatment sheet and noticed that the last 10 arent doing things that Im real excited about... my smile is pretty good right now, other than working to finish close that gap (which would be completed by tray 10) and try to fix up my bottom front teeth where it kind of messed them up. Well according to my treatment, the last 10, they are wanted to do what appears to me as push the left side teeth up... which REALLY off sets my smile, one side will me much lower than the other side... then towards the end, they are wanted to do what seems like push my front teeth up as well... my teeth arent very "long" so if they get pushed up further then I may have chic-let teeth. YIKES... remember in my previous posts, that my dentist shaved my front teeth to be straight across so that already took off a little height.. I may email them, and ask them about my concerns and also tell them Im not interested in the second 10, with how to top teeth transform.

Tray 7
Good morning all!!! Ok, so Im a little late with my review. I changed into Tray 7 on Wednesday night. It was tight like normal which is always good. This tray I noticed has kind of roughed up my cheeks a little on the inside. It doesnt hurt any, I just noticed with my tongue that both sides are a little rough. Anyway. So they sent me an email telling me to change trays, they asked when I changed and how long I've been keeping them in and if I had any questions regarding the fit etc of the tray. Pretty standard. They also asked for pictures of my progress on this email. They requesting 13 pictures. Ones with my aligners in, and ones without. One thing Ive noticed on those emails... Im not really sure that they actually read them... could be wrong... Ive sent a question in about how my dentist shaved down my front teeth to make them even... not much was taken off but there is a gap between the aligner and my tooth. I asked if they will take more impressions before sending out the last 10 trays.. and use those impressions to make the next set. I have yet to get any response and ive sent it in probably 2 times.
But no complaints. Everything is moving along. I will upload some pictures (probably the ones that they asked me to take) after I get that accomplished... its going to take 2 people to do those pictures.
