Tonight I begin my Invisalign tray #10. I had a lot of trouble putting on the upper-tray -- the angle seems drastically different, so it took me a while to figure out how to align the tray with my teeth. They're in now, and will probably be difficult to take off..... hopefully my teeth will adjust a bit overnight, so that I can take them out without too much hassle. My dentist gave me a special dental tool to ply off the trays if necessary, but obviously I'd prefer not to have to carry such an instrument around and use it every time I eat.
When I go back to the dentist in two weeks, I will get more "bumps" put on, to continue to move my teeth around ("bumps" are fake nodule-type things the dentist puts onto a tooth to help apply pressure in a specific direction/angle to move individual teeth). It seems that the 11th trays are more tricky and are in two parts... not sure how this works, but more on that in two week's time!
