Hi folks.

On trays 6 of 29 top & 13 bottom.

Things with the invisalign are going brilliant except for the IPR......it is soooooo evil and I hate it, so much so i'm tempted to give up. Its uncomfy and sore and the ortho wont knock me out first lol......ok, its not THAT bad but if it was an option I'd be there! Poor wee gums are shreaded and brushing is a tad tender - flossing is a big no no today. Its not his fault I know and he says sorry repeatedly......i'm just a big baby.

Progress with the trays is going BRILLIANT, I started tray 6 yesterday which is almost half way for the bottom and the gap has almost closed, (must post some pictures, I'm well impressed!!!! ), I dont see any movement at the top yet, in fact I dont really feel any either but since my top IPR was done yesterday maybe it'll all kick off now?! My ortho is so pleased by the way my teeth are moving he's got me on 1 week per tray - I asked if this was alright and not against invisalign rules he said " I'm the ortho, I know what I'm doing" I suppose so....and actually I quite like it All going well with this schedule I've 23 weeks to go with normal trays (mid August) then prob some train track refinements August - October / November and yipeeee, all perfect smiles for the festive period. Who knows this could all change but sounds nice just now.

Hope all are well x

    That's too bad about the IPR. I'm getting some more at my next visit too hopefully it won't result in any issues with my gums - that sounds painful!

    That's great news about the length of treatment though!
