Tray 10, Day 8

Alright so I haven't been updating at all, shame on me!!! My last update was on tray 5 and I am not on tray 10 so I have been neglecting this blog for about 10 weeks. So to start...

Not much has happened in the way of my invisalign experience. I had a check up with my orthodontist at tray 7 and he said things are right on track to keep my progression going. They said that I am doing great sticking to my wear time since I am a teenager and they have had tough times getting their teen patients to do what is expected of them. The appointment made me feel great.
My smiles is soooo... different! I am so please with my results. I am set to have 20U/22L and have an orthodontist appointment on November 26th and my orthodontist will give me about 4 to 5 new sets to take home before my next visit. That will put me at about 14 or 15 meaning only 5 more trays left! w00t. I am sure I will need refinements but, I really haven't had any problems with treatment so hopefully I can keep the refinements at a minimum.

My teeth arn't putting up a struggle to move. Actually I don't have much pain with new aligners at all. At my very first appointment I got 13 attachments put on and those haven't given me any problems either, other than getting food stuck on them, that is. I haven't had any problems with getting my aligners off either, actually all it takes is a flick of my tounge and they go flying.

A habit that I have picked up along the way, which shamefully is a bad one, I no longer brush and floss after every single bite of food that I consume. I will rinse with water and brush within a few hours after eatting. I still clean them in my sonicbrite system every three days.
Well that is my update not much of anything going on but I am so happy with my results. I will post pictures soon as well as an update on how my orthodontist appointment goes. Talk to you on Monday!!
