Start of Tray 18
Hi Invisalign Community! Wow, how time flies by :-) I just started Tray 18 this past Thursday and I cannot believe that I will be headed to the Orthodontist on Tuesday to pick up my last round of trays before refinements, EEEK! I am anticipating getting some bands put on my teeth as well, as I think and hope I have had enough movements to start this journey to help correct my bite.
I am very happy with Invisalign as a whole, and feel pretty luck to see such good progress, and love changing them every 7 days!
On a side note, I have absolutely hate the people that ask, "Have you seen any progress yet? I want to say, "Ummm, yes" can't you :-) I know I am teeth stalking myself with a million number of teeth selfies, but I cannot believe that people cannot notice a change. I guess those close to me see the most change, but they were those I let see the whole gap and the before pictures.
Life is good, and I am loving my newer smile. It is funny how everything is perspective though. I love seeing the progress but still hate my upper right with the crowding I have from my snaggle tooth, my teeth need to do some serious turning in the next 10 weeks or so prior to refinement or who knows how long that process will be....Funny how I am so critical, even though I have made huge strides. I try to remember that in the process, and not get caught up on the end product.
Till next time, love seeing everyones stories...especially those going through the closing of gaps...I officially had lunch with a large group of people a 2 weeks ago, and didn't even have my trays in :-) Now that is progress!!!!

Start of Tray 11
I visited the orthodontist almost 3 weeks ago and got some great news, my teeth are moving great and quickly. I told him that my trays were getting very chewy towards the 10th day, and seemed to barely fit. (I also was grinding them at night because they were so loose) My ortho advised me that I could start to change them weekly :-) So since Tray 9 I have been changing weekly and haven't noticed any difference, other than not having really chewy uncomfortable trays. I was super excited about! He also gave me trays 9-18, since I have been doing so well. Once I go back in July I will get the final set and he will put bands on so my bite can start to move. (my initial treatment is 28)
With my new set of trays I have hit a new milestone - no more gap filler. The filler will not fit in the hole since it is so tiny. You will see in my picture that you can barely notice it with my trays in, and I will say I am so happy to not have to worry about it! just a couple more trays and my gap will be completely closed - Wooohooo!!!! I think I'll do a celebratory post just about the gap closing, so exciting!!!!
I am so incredibly happy with my treatment thus far, so easy to manage, especially working in a corporate setting. I can already tell the difference in my smile, and when I take pictures I can see it, and ppl are starting to notice it as well.

Finishing up Tray 8 next week
Everything has been going pretty well with my treatment. I really haven't had much pain, only those first couple of days results in tenderness. Once I get to day 7, my teeth feel pretty good, and my trays get "chewy" like they are starting to lose their grip and ready to change. I have been changing my trays at night on after the 10th day and time seems to be flying by!!!!
As you can see my gap is starting to close, woohooo! I am impressed that I can really notice the difference, and will be so thankful when that is closed up so I can eat in front of ppl without so much anxiety. I have also noticed that my fang tooth is starting to tuck and come in, it has more space to come in for sure, but I am enjoying the small changes and even feeling more confident in my smile already. I go to the orthodontist on Thursday and will get my next set of trays, and am curious when they should start giving me the rubber bands,...not looking forward to it at all
I need to catch up on everyone posts, I hope you all are doing well.
