I haven't written a post in ages because I have literally just been waiting. I wasn't able to get an appointment until mid November and all this was for was to show me the new ClinCheck. I was so surprised as I am really pleased with my teeth so far but the end results after these next trays just look amazing and I can't wait to finish. Invisalign have decided that I need 15 more trays on the top and 6 on the bottom to get them to this end finish. I was pretty shocked as I only had 20 to begin with and 20 changed a hell of a lot! But as I said before, for the amount I am paying I want them to be as perfect as can be. These extra trays are at no extra cost however and now it is a new try each week I will hopefully be totally finished by the end of March now.

I then couldn't get an appointment until last week to pick up my new trays. By this point I had had my old trays in for 3 months straight so you can imagine how discolored they were! It was gross and I really hated wearing them and got pretty lazy with them to be fair and would go a whole day sometimes at the weekend with not wearing them. Even in just that one day they did move slightly so it is really important that I get back on it now.

Last week I was given 5 sets which was great as I normally only get 3 and I also managed to get another appointment for exactly 5 weeks after that to get the next 5. At this appointment I also had some more attachments put on but not half as many as before. I have 4 attachments on the top set, 2 at the front, 1 at the side and 1 at the back and they aren't noticeable really. The bottom set I also  have 4 that are at the sides towards the back, so again not really noticeable.

The first set of trays of this new lot absolutely killed! I was in a lot of pain for about 36 hours as my teeth were moving again and I had spent 3 months with the old trays in. However I am now on the 2nd tray and no pain so hopefully it carries on this way. I am due to put my 3rd tray in on Christmas Day, however I may set it back a day as I don't want to risk not being able to enjoy all of the food!
