TRAY 21 OF 26!!
$7,400
Holy cow... for the first time in my entire invisalign treatment I am in pain!
My teeth are sore, my jaw is sore.. taking the tray in or out is brutal. I keep telling myself that I am "almost there". Maybe it's just the final push to straighten out these stubborn lower teeth, but suddenly switching to new trays is a lot less comfortable than it has been previously. I also have noticed that I have almost chewed THROUGH my acceledent mouth piece.... Just hoping it lasts through my final trays! I wonder if this is covered in the warranty?

Photos from beginning of treatment...
These pics are not the best... The bottom teeth are actually really crowded. If I do an "open mouth smile" they look extra snargly. lol I am now on tray 19 of 26 so this is just for

ALMOST DONE! TRAY 19 OF 26! Changing every 5 days thanks to Acceledent!
Hello! I can't believe that in 20 days I get my attachments taken off... and 15 days later I can switch to retainer! (If all goes well/ no revisions)
Currently on tray 19 of 26 and things are looking pretty good... I find it hard to believe that by tray 25 my lower teeth will be 100% straight, seeing as they are still somewhat crooked right now..
However,I took tray 23 out of the package and the lower teeth look nearly perfect... So hopefully I am on track and the tray will fit perfectly when I get there.
I have only been wearing my trays at night for the past 2 weeks (without swapping- stayed on 19) due to a really bad chest infection. (Felt so crappy, the extra pressure on my head was unmanageable ) I went in to my ortho today for a checkup to see if I am OK to get back on track and swap trays every five days... They gave me the green light and said tray 19 looks to be fitting perfectly.
This has been such a massive investment for me... I have never spent this much money on anything besides school in my entire life! I think it will be worth it... If you do this once properly and keep up retainers, you will have straight teeth for the rest of your life.
I can't wait to get the darn attachments off so I can start whitening again! All I want for Christmas is straight teeth! Please please please!!
Ask me anything.. I am almost done so am pretty much an expert ;)
