    Stubborn tooth!! Anybody else have this problem?

    Hello all. I was given my midcourse trays a few months ago and it is 20 upper and 20 lower. I am on tray 8 as of right now, and I am noticing two small gaps between my teeth and the tray. I noticed this in my previous tray as well but I assumed it would go away. I read other peoples blogs and they have referred to these as "stubborn teeth" and that they are not coming down as much as they are supposed to, but with continuous wear of the trays the teeth will most likely be pushed to where they are supposed to be. The gap isn't very big, and I might just be paranoid but I attached a picture so you could see, if anybody has had this problem or if you have an advice on the gap please post! Thank you!

    Its the two teeth (mainly the one on the right) on either sides of my two front teeth next to my eyeteeth.

    You should bring this up to your dentist, they have the foresight to tell you whether it's normal and a transitonal phase, or whether they might want to get an attachment put on that stubborn tooth! good luck

    are you wearing your trays each day the proper amount? each tray has a specific movement and if you don't wear your trays so the movement could be completed then it's not gonna happen moving on to the next. Compliance is of utmost importance! Speak to your provider about this issue.
