crowdyteeth

New here.

I just started invisalign a month ago. Honestly the thought that I have do deal with this for close to 2 years is kind of a bummer. I just hope the time goes by quick and I look forward to having a pretty smile at the end of this.

I have really crowded teeth. My tops are worse than the bottom teeth. The top will take 33 trays with refinements after that I am sure. And the bottoms will take 16 trays. Right now I'm on tray #2. I haven't really noticed any visible changes but I can feel a difference already. My dentist told me I have to wear the trays for 3 weeks each! I was hoping things would move along quicker but I trust that she knows what she's doing and she just wants to make sure everything moves as it should.

I have 7 attachments on the top and 6 on the bottom. All of the front teeth so my aligners are not invisible at all and I find myself being even more self-conscious about my teeth than I was before. Sigh. It's getting easier each day now.

Seeing some of the results from other people make feel better about the whole thing though. Someday I'll be able to smile proudly
