33% there - End of tray six

As I'm a third of the way through my treatment I thought that it might be a good time to post a before and after couple of pics.


The braces are so much part of my life now that I barely notice them, though one drawback is that the moving teeth has completely destroyed my bite until they are settled into their new positions. I never have my mouth completely shut and chewing is a bit of a challenge so I've taken to kind of hoovering up my fayre. Not that pretty.


Six months to go!

End of five - photo update

Hey there. Not much to say other than tray five and I have been to Mexico on holiday. Pleased with progress with this set and the extent to which my crossbite tooth has headed out from behind my lateral incisor.

Tray five - early days and ouch!

No photo this time but just a quick update whilst it's on my mind and in my mouth.

I got so impatient with boring tray four (sorry nothing personal) that I snuck the number fives in two days early. Don't tell my dentist.

Anyway, I really know that these babies are in. I had the most pain on my lower molars as though each of them is being grip in a vice and wrenched inwards. They are of course letting me know that they don't like this treatment very much but tough! They shouldn't have been lounging around messing up my bite and pushing my front teeth into funny positions. Fingers crossed for some major movement back there!
