38, San Diego - Invisalign Day 1: 2/24/2018

After first round of 31 trays and a refinement round of 20 trays I just ordered my retainers yesterday. I could have done some more, I have one really stubborn tooth on the bottom, but I decided to leave it. They aren’t exactly perfect but the difference is huge and I am happy happy! And I like the little imperfections, too I am pleased with my results and would highly recommend Invisalign with the right doctor. Doctor Kim in San Diego was patient and gave me expert advice throughout the process. I’ve always wanted straighter teeth and I’ve got them now, just in time for my 40th birthday coming p in January.

This is my 47th tray overall. Began 2/23/18 and this is now on 7/8/19. Slower results with this 2nd round of trays. Overall happy but still want my teeth to be straighter and more aligned. I have 5 more trays and will then reassess with my dentist.

I finished 31 trays in 12 months and started a refinement round in January. I was hoping for few trays but the refinement round ended up being 20 trays! Super bummed but I just gotta keep going. I feel less interested in tracking results - it’s very slow going. Not even sure I notice much difference from my last tray (31st) to this 6th one. These photos are with tray 6 of 20 — but tray 38 overall.
