Invisalign Tray #8


Tonight I begin my Tray #8.  This tray will mark my half-way point for my upper sets of trays (8 down, 8 to go).  I've read various Invisalign-users' blogs and know that additional adjuster trays are not unusual AFTER one finishes the originally designated sets of trays... but this is progress for now!  I still can't see a drastic difference, really, although I suppose my recessed tooth is now more visible.  I am also using special mouth-rinse to keep my teeth and gum in tip-top-shape -- which is great but slightly discolors my teeth.  My dentist tells me I will need to get my teeth whitened after this 1 year+ experience.  Having committed to this process, I can't wait for my teeth to look incredibly and visibly different.

David says that when I first had my stuck baby tooth pulled out, the gap was very visible (although charming, of course).  Now, he says the gap is really not noticeable.

Here's a comparison from Tray #1... where my recessed tooth is INvisible...
...to Tray #8, where you begin to see that sneaky tooth....
