Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi All! Well I actually have my tray package here at work with me. Now I can tell you exactly what my "proposed" treatment is. Lower: 23 trays = 69 weeks. Upper 17 trays = 51 weeks (1 year, 6 months total) Though, with reading this forum, I anticipate to have to have them longer. Although, my upper teeth look perfect right now. My lower is questionable.
I started my 9th tray minutes ago. I started one day early because it takes about 3 days for me to get comfortable with the trays and I have to talk in a meeting on Tuesday, so I dont want a lisp then.
I missed a doctors appt, in which he was supposed to shave two more teeth (he shaved two already), and I think since he didnt shave those two teeth, my lower teeth are struggling to move with the trays. I have an appointment on Saturday and I cant wait to get my teeth shaved! It feels so much better after he does. (more room to move around)
Gosh! I hope these Invisalign work on my bottom teeth. I know they have worked on my upper!!!

Wow! I have to say the last three days have been hell on my lower teeth. At night when I am laying in bed TRYING to fall asleep... I can actually feel a very stubborn tooth on my bottom actually move. This has, so far ~ been the worst pain I have felt since I got invisalign. I can actually feel my tooth move. My hubby, who has metal braces, says he feels that everytime they tighten his braces. So, I guess Invisalign is working on my bottom teeth now.. which my dr had told me on my last tray that ... the aligners are starting to work on my bottom teeth. BOY.. he wasnt joking. Saturday I go in to have my teeth shaved and I am hopeing this gives some relief!!!!!
Ohh! I had two comments on my teeth this weekend ... one from hubby and other from sister - about how straight and pretty my upper teeth are!!! I knew the trays were working on my uppers, but didnt realize what a big big difference. They both said they see a huge difference

goodgoodgood!! im so happy to actually hear a success story since everyone else is saying that it didn't work... i feel pain on certain teeth also when i get a new tray in so i know that way which one is moving. and then i push on them and it makes them feel alot better. like i'm forcing them into their designated position anyway, iiiiiiiiiii still have a long way to go but hopefully i'll end up like you

I will try and get some pics posted this week of my teeth. I keep forgetting to take the pics. Hey, by the way... does anyone know how to get the first orginal pics that the doctor takes before your molds? I noticed a few posting with their actual pics and would like to get mine.
Anyone?
