Invisalign - DAY 78

Well, it is the start of Tray #6. As usual, the aligners went in with a 'snap' and the uncomfortableness was there all over again.

It is so wild to take them out and know which teeth the aligners are affecting. You don't really feel which ones are being moved when the aligners are in, but once you take them out...Oh, boy, do you know.

The next two weeks will be moving the front left tooth, or so the discomfort in my mouth tells me.

And, again, where the molars currently reside are 'moving to a better location'. It's like they are moving from the Ozark swamp land to Beverly Hills. I just hope Jed, Granny, Elly Mae and Jethro enjoy the trip and don't give me as much of a headache as they did the Drysdales.

Wow, now that is an obsure reference.

Also, my brother was in town and noticed the difference in my wife's smile but not mine. However, he did notice my bald spot and gave me the pros of Rogaine and Avacor. It's nice to know that I will have a nice smile that will be overshadowed by my hair loss.

I have to say, the first 11 weeks of Invisalign have not been all that bad. I would still recommend this to anyone and everyone who is looking to have their smile corrected. Sure, the frustration is there that they are not moving as quickly as I would like, but I watched the ClinCheck the other day and it made me realize what the end product will be. Soon I will be there, or as the Black Eyed Peas sing:

"Imma be, Imma be, Imma be, Imma be...
Imma be takin them pics, lookin' all fly and s***"
