One thing I realized as I was going through old posts is how much I appreciate having pictures of my progress especially in the very early stages of Invisalign. It's a great reminder of how much work it was, especially seeing those clunky attachments!!
Anyhow, I know progress pictures aren't quite as exciting anymore at this stage but here they are. I just switched to tray 3U last night and am still wearing 2L. I don't feel anything when I change trays. I thought I'd throw in a picture of how the trays look after multiple rounds of Polident and scrubbing. I did have some reservations about wearing them again. The most yellowed trays are my final ones which I had to wear for the longest time while waiting for my retainers. Bottom right picture was taken with aligners in. You can see my bite and midline are a bit off and my front tooth isn't quite flush with its neighbours yet. Will see what they look like at the end.
I feel like a bit of nerd but I'm looking forward to seeing my hygienist on Monday. I'm honestly not sure what condition my teeth are in after not having seen my hygienist for so long during the shutdown. Hopefully my teeth and gums are doing ok. After I get my teeth cleaned, I'm going to use my trays for some home whitening using a kit that I got on sale at Costco! Also I dropped by my dentist office for chewies on Friday so hopefully that will help too. I wish I had asked for them earlier. they are so expensive online!
