I thought I was going to do a better job of keeping up a daily journal regarding my Invisalign. To all 4 of my followers, I apoligize. On the bright side, my acting has really kept me busy (shooting the web series, theater rehearsals, auditions for short films), but this blog isn't about my acting career...So, I am about to start on Tray #11 and things have been going smoothly. Before jumping into Tray #10 I took a photo of the changes at the halfway mark. I will post those into this blog later as it is not on my current computer's harddrive. Just as my ClinChek showed, Trays 6-10 moved my upper front teeth and now it is time to start moving the bottom.
One thing I am bummed about is I lost the same 'button' that previous fell off. I was eating dry cereal this morning (Raisin Bran, in case you were wondering) and I started to chew on something crunchy. Now, Raisin Bran in crunchy so I thought it might be an extra crunchy flake. But in the back of my mind I knew this sensation and somthing told me that the button was on its way through my digestive system. I hate when I am right.
I go in for an exam and to pick up Trays 11-13 this coming Tuesday. Dr. Azani did say that if this particular button fell off again, he would not replace it since it was only an anchor and didn't really help to move any teeth. I am not sure if I am going to try to convince him to add it back on. I have a couple of days to figure out what to do.
Over the last 3 Weeks:
Pain Level - 4 (although, Tray #10 was really tight for a couple of days)
Dedication Level - 5 (I seem to be sans aligners for about 5 hours a day)
Irritation Level - 2 (things are going really good since I am visually seeing a change)
