Nothing New Really

 I have 2 things to tell you about, that don't really require a blog post, but I wanted to share...

1. I am officially over half way through my bottom aligners! I put tray 9 of 16 in 5 days ago! YAY!!!

Still a little longer on the top because I have 23 total (I am 1/3 of the way done on top, however). I'm just happy with the half way milestone and wanted to share! :)


2. Yesterday, I took my son to the pumpkin patch. I decided I wanted some hot chocolate, so being the disciplined Invisalign wearer that I am, I took them out. It was a horribly windy day and when I went to put them in the case, the wind grabbed one of them and it landed in the mud. GROSS!!! :( I was not about to put it back in my mouth without a proper cleaning (soaked in denture cleaner and scrubbed with a toothbrush) so I ended up having them out for about 4 hours in one shot yesterday, and that doesn't count the time I had them out for regular meals!
Anyway, all is well now. They were pretty tight when I first put them back in, but that subsided rather quickly.


I do have my next followup appointment on October 26th. I plan on posting updated pictures again at that time. At that appointment, I will be having more scans done to make sure everything is progressing as planned, so fingers crossed! :) I guess I am on the plan which is call "Invisalign Assist" so every 10 trays they make sure everything is going as planned with a new scan, before making the 10 sets of trays.
