I'm on tray 21 now! Wooh. Only 4 more to go. It's crazy how fast time flies. It really becomes a part of your routine. My invisalign has become an extension of me. :D LOL. The pic posted is old, but such a great comparison! It's even more noticeable now.

Final pictures please? You can't just leave us hanging.
I like many others going through the process would love to see some encouraging pictures.

I have a question:
I did propel and i'm on my 4th week of trays. I started with a set of 19. I notice when I look at each tray that the teeth are shifting, but when I'm done with that tray and move to the next one, my teeth don't look like the previous tray. I don't see any changes on my 4th tray already. For example, when I switch to my 5th tray tomorrow, I examine my teeth and they do not look like what the teeth look like in the 4th tray. Is something going wrong?

Finished PROPEL & Tray 17
I've been meaning to give you all the update! Sooo excited that I AM DONE WITH PROPEL! WOOOH. Also, the second time was MUCH MUCH better. Dr. Pyle did a really awesome job. This time, instead of applying the numbing gel with the gauze and letting it sit, they applied directly with a swab and timed it. It was much more comfortable. I still felt a little throughout the process, but it was more like soreness from the pressure. They even took a smiling picture of me at the end of the treatment. I feel very lucky because Dr. Pyle is actually one of the instructors of PROPEL!
I learned from my last time. I took Tylenol extra strength before I came and asked if I could have my prescription ready for me so I could pick it up on the way home. Smart decision. The few hours after the treatment were still pretty dreadful, but again it feels like a soreness from the pressure. I made sure to make a later appointment so I could go right to bed. The next day I felt much better and actually did a presentation!
I've also noticed that the gap or black triangle has closed significantly on my bottom teeth. THANK THE LORD! Haha. Since the PROPEL, changing trays hasn't been as uncomfortable. It's awesome, now even others have noticed my teeth are straightening out. I have one more (tray 18) for bottom and the rest are passive. I have 8 more for the top (tray 25). I'm loving this progress!

hi there, i am getting propel next friday. after propel, how quickly are you changing your trays? Also, how long do you feel that the soreness lasts? I was thinking of going to my boxing class the next morning but do you think that is an awful idea??
