Invisalign - DAY 17

Well, good news, I guess. I called the DDS today regarding my attachment and it's decision to become a pizza topping. I asked Dr. Azani if there was anything to worry about and he informed me that there wasn't. It was an attachment that was on a molar in the back that is not moving my teeth that much, I assume.

He told me to go to my second tray, but before I start my third tray (in three weeks) to stop on by and he will add it again. Happy days. I just hope they can make it stay this time.

I am getting to be a pro at taking out my aligners now. It used to be too much of a hassle, now it's alright. I do notice that I want to leave them in more, though. It is because the attachments are not soft. They have a course feel to them and some come to a point that rub the inside of your cheek pretty fierce (I never thought I would use that word in a sentence).

I am taking a small vacation so I will see how dedicated I become out of the normalcy of everyday life. Wish me luck.

Pain Level - 3 (occational head and tooth ache)
Dedication Level - 10 (for now)
Irritation Level - 5 (the tiny sores on my cheeks from the attachments)
