Finished 4C and 4D but......
I am posting pics of the end of 4C & 4D....So 4D came and went & I had a visit with my Orthodontist... My teeth still need some shifting done on the right and in front but I am so near being done! This was suppose to be my last set, believe me, I wore them like clock work but the last 3 or 4 sets have not felt that tight to me, I would change them and only felt very slight pressure if any, I just thought it was doing what it needed. I did notice that my top right side of my aligner had a gap between it and my gums, enough so that i could practically fit my fingernail in there.... I just figured it was the way it was suppose to be, but now im regretting not pointing this out to my dentist sooner as that is the reason I was getting no movement! So my last few sets have really done nothing, ugh! So we made new molds and he sent them off, now I am playing the waiting game and it could take 3 to 4 weeks to get them in, But honestly I could finish now, but why? I put in all this time, money and effort into my smile, so Im going all the way. I want my teeth to be as perfect as they can be. I have lived with my over bite and crowded teeth long enough lol I dont mind doing more sets, as I kinda feel weird when they are not in.... but I was looking forward to actually being done. I will now need to wear 3 to 6 more sets....So if you feel for any reason that you have any kind of issue with your appliance, talk to your dentist, save yourself the heartache of having to wear more then you need to! I am posting some pics on this update of the gap, just to give you an idea of what i mean.....and now I just wait. I only have to wear 4D now at night until my new aligners come in, but I find myself also wearing them during the day...weird I know. You would think I would take any advantage of keeping them off all day since I was givin the OK... Well they do come off for about 5 hours a day but other then that I am putting them right back in. No turning back now, Im already so happy with the way they look, I actually smile so much more! I remember growing up I hated my smile, I hated my overbite, so much so I would always have my hand up by my mouth covering it up. I hated when people looked at my side profile cuz of it, and now I dont care :) These things really work!! Just pay attention and watch for any minor changes in the way they feel, I wish I would have!! Anyways have a great day! And I will keep ya all posted when I get my new aligners in :)
Starting of 4C
So I have 1 more tray left after this, but I had a talk with my orthodontist and we both feel like my front and right side could use a little more work. I am more then happy to do a few more trays, I'm almost sad it will end lol but honestly I can't wait to be done, it has had its good and bad days, but I'm so use to it now it had become a part of my daily schedule. So I will change this set Monday and move on to 4D...my last one...
(Just posting this update late) and in a few weeks I'll go in for an early apt. to see what we plan to do. I could be done, but why do all this work and not make it add perfect as possible..
Just remember, if anyone tells you these don't work, I feel it's because they didn't wear them as told, or use the chewies to help set them correctly.
If you want this to work, you have to do as your dentist recommends. Stay on track!
