Tray 17
Primus81November 1, 2014
WORTH IT$3,300
My apologies for skipping a few trays. My experience has been pretty smooth so far. My cleaning routine has stayed the same. I must admit that my thoroughness has slacked from time to time. I have had a total of three IPRs and there is really nothing to them.
I still keep my tray holder with me at most times, it's the easiest way to keep up with them. I definitely do not have any regrets and would recommend Invisalign to anyone.
The trays have become more and more natural. It maybe kinda weird when its time to let these things go. Sounds crazy...I know.

Tray 3
Primus81April 17, 2014
I moved to Tray 3 on Sunday night. This was definitely good advice! There was no pain at all. I haven't had to file any trays, since tray 1. My speech has pretty much returned to normal. I'm using Crest 3D White Luxe, it seems to help with the sensitivity. I'm using the same cleaning method with Efferdent and soap.
My bite feels a little off. I'm hoping this normal.

I just went back and looked at your clincheck. I never noticed before, but it looks like your bottom arch will have a tooth in the midline (which you have now as well, which was why I looked at your ClinCheck.) Did your doctor discuss this with you?
April 18, 2014
Yeah, we talked about the midline being off. It was never a huge concern for me.

Cool :). I was freaking out when my midline suddenly stopped matching up! LOL. But they fixed it in refinements.

Tray 2
Primus81April 1, 2014
One down and twenty-two to go! I saw a little progress from tray one. The gap is slightly smaller and the pain on tray two is definitely more noticeable. It took a few hours to kick in. I popped a couple OTC pills and I'm cool now. I will probably take the advice on changing my trays at night. The routine is real but, I'm getting use to it. My next appointment is on 4/28, for tray 4. My IPR is scheduled right before tray 5.

The changing trays at night worked great for me. On days I went to the ortho, I had to change when I went to them, and then I refrained from eating for 6-8 hours. Taking them out before that was just so painful :(. Well, it was for me. Please let us know if you feel a difference when you move to evenings. :)

Yeah, they kept my tray 1's. I had to put the new ones in right away. The pain is pretty much gone now. I will definitely update how the night change goes:)
