Are you actually seeing results already? Or are you just happy in general? :)
Pizza is chewy! You might do better with overcooked rice or pasta. Or things like rice pudding or bread pudding. I have no idea what kind of diet you're on, but jello isn't filling at all, LOL! Oat meal should work as well :D. And smoothies are great for those really awful days where you don't want to chew at all!
Wow. That was either some high-quality calamari, or you're feeling better :D. Either is fantastic :D :D :D
What instrument do you play? We've had a couple of woodwinds I think, in the community. Or a woodwind and a brass, maybe. I'd have to look them up, LOL! Very curious!
Wow, I'm pretty sure you're our first flautist! Fantastic :D. I studied music performance in college, but I was a singer. Did you study in the US?
I sing! I did voice performance :). I play a little piano and guitar but only because you have to play something to get through music conservatory, LOL!
Mostly art songs, and as late period as I could find :D. I wasn't big into opera. But I love choir singing best.
Hey, I've heard of him!!! He's probably the only flautist I've ever heard of, LOL!
What!? Did you get to play for him? LOL! Was it at a concert or did he do some kind of master class?
OMG. She's so brave! You're super-lucky your mom takes the initiative like that! Though it helps that you know what you love and she knows how much you love it :).
Yep! Normally, for a crowding case like yours, I'd expect tray 7 or so (so 14 weeks). You might be able to see a difference a little sooner if you take very careful comparison pictures from week one (same angle and everything). Also, if you compare the actual trays--first tray laid out next to the latest tray, you might be able to see differences in how the trays are shaped. :D
That's a lot of trays! :) No worries. Have you considered AcceleDent or Propel, to speed things up? Or maybe you don't mind about the two years. I didn't speed up my treatment at all.

Welcome to the community! Congratulations on getting to do this for yourself, and on avoiding all of those extractions! Do you know how many aligners you'll have in total? Also, is crowding your only issue, or do you have other issues to work on as well?
Once you get your attachments, they may be a little more visible, but it's still way better than regular braces :):)! When I said crowding, I meant that your teeth are crowded in your jaws--that's what makes them sit crookedly :). So I was wondering if that is the only issue that you need to work on, or whether you also have bite issues, like an overjet or overbite or anything like that :D.
Four years!!! Wow! I don't think I've heard of a case before where the braces would take twice as long as Invisalign. Very excited to watch your progress :). I hope you continue to update us!
