Trays, Trays, Trays

I got a call from my Orthos office today at 2pm. We are having a bit of a snow storm here in Chicago and they want me to come in earlier than my scheduled time. I was able to get off of work at 3, but with this crazy weather I made it to the dentist office at about 3:50pm. 

Good News! Everything looks great! Ortho is happy with my progress :) I did tell her about the small gap I see when my bottom tray is inserted, she thinks that incisor may need more time to adjust. I have been recommended to wear my trays for an extra week now, so instead of switching out the trays every 2 weeks it'll be every 3 weeks. 

As soon I was home I did the usual thing... I tore open my next set of trays to see what my teeth will be looking like in march :) Exciting!!

I don't have any teeth pics, so here are some of our winter wonderland in chitown :)

Happy NEW Smiles!!

Hello my fellow invisiligners!! Happy New Year... It's been a very long time since I've been here. I am so sorry its taken me this long to update my blog. Work has been DIFFICULT! Things are getting better and I'll have more free time now. I'll try and blog more often.

Currently I am on Tray 16!!

I have a dental appointment tomorrow at 5pm... it should be a very fast and easy appointment, they will give me Trays 17, 18 and 19. I can see the start of my beautiful Hollywood smile coming together. I know I still have a long way to go, but it makes me so happy when others start pointing out the change taking place.

Trays seem to be fitting well, however I noticed a small gap on my lower left lateral incisor when the trays are inserted... it kinda looks like that tooth hasn't moved to the position it should be. I'll have to speak to my Ortho about this. All the attachments are still on, nothing has fallen off. I've been trying to be really good and keep the trays in for a minimum of 22hrs as recommended, however with the holidays it definitely became more difficult to maintain that routine.

Here are some pictures...

I'll be uploading a series before and after pictures of my teeth and the trays... somehow I feel like you can see more of a difference off the actual trays.

Write to you soon :)
