Yikes...I'm behind!!

Ok so this will be a bit of a catch up post.

There hasn't been much to report really, plus summer is busier and add in holidays in there and poof....you don't update in a month haha.

So lets see:

Tray 12 - changed into on Friday July 7 - not much to report, trays usually bug me for the first day or two and then I'm used to them by the third day. Noticing less changes at this point.

Tray 13 - changed into on Friday July 14 - I had to change into these ones earlier in the day than I normally would as we were leaving to go out of town camping for a few days. So I had to change them right after I got home from work, where I usually change them at night before I go to bed. My husband thought I would be super cranky for the whole drive; but I think the drive helped keep my mind off the new trays and we didn't stop to eat before setting up camp about halfway to our destination so I had the new trays in for at least 15 hours before I even took them out to eat.

Tray 14 - changed into on Friday July 21 - again not much to report, I feel certain teeth moving, mostly the top front few teeth and it feels like they are moving downwards; but it is hard to really notice until I take out my trays.

Tray 15 - changed into on Friday July 28 - not much to report. I'm starting to get excited for the next steps and curious as to what the next steps will be

I emailed Jane (you remember my ortho's assistant) on Tuesday August 1 to ask her a few questions about my next appointment on Friday August 11. I'm curious if I'll wear tray 16 for two weeks and tray 17 for two weeks while I wait for my next appointment to get my refinement trays. I also wanted to know how many refinements I would receive.

At this point I still have spaces in a couple my side top teeth and I would really like those closed in as I don't believe they should be there. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the outcome of my teeth. My smile is definitely wider and you can see more of my top teeth when I smile. I don't think I can go any wider without widening my bottom teeth as well as my bite seems pretty good both with and without the trays in. My teeth actually fit together. And not just some of them, mostly all of them fit together...this is something I've never had with my two previous brace treatments.
