Refinement tray 14U/11L update with pictures

I'm still here but I have to confess I'm getting lazier and lazier with my updates. In case you're wondering, I'm now changing up my lower trays (in my last 3 overcorrection trays) more slowly than my top ones to avoid wearing the last on for months on end. I've gotten a lot more questions about my invisalign (after close 1.5 years of wearing them!) since I got my new attachments. Mostly people are just curious or considering getting them themselves.

I've been a rather bad girl with my trays... Especially this past weekend since I was at an engagement party and a wedding. I managed to nurse a glass of wine, squeeze in a few courses without rushing and discretely brushed my teeth at the wedding and put my trays back in a few hours later without any trouble. What a far cry from the beginning of my treatment when I was hopelessly neurotic and on edge!

I've noticed since I've gotten my new attachments that my teeth are a lot more sore after each tray change and there seems to be some more visible changes in my teeth. For the most part things are pretty uneventful. Sometimes I feel like I want things to be over with and slow down at the same time (so that they can just as I want them before I finish this round). Most of the time, they're part of my everyday routine and I don't pay that much attention to them anymore.
