Tray 6 Complete!

It's been another 4 weeks and I've finished Trays 5 and 6. I'm about 1/5 of the way done already! I finally noticed a TINY difference in my teeth compared to before I started treatment, which is exciting to see after 13 weeks (it would have been 12 but I had that one week where my orthodontist was gone and I couldn't get Tray 6). Well I did get Tray 6 and I've finished it. The difference that I noticed was in my right front tooth. It is just a little bit straighter compared to the left tooth, and compared to when I first started. I admit I was getting a little impatient because I wasn't seeing any change, but now that I have seen it, no matter how slight it may be, I am so happy and so excited and I can't wait to see the end result. I was forecasting when I should change into each new tray from this point on and I SHOULD be finished in August of next year. Now remember, I only started in July so my total treatment time should be just over 1 year, which I think is unbelievable and amazing. I just switched into Tray 7 a few minutes ago and I can tell my front teeth are really going to start moving because the tray is so tight around them. But I look forward to that uncomfortable feeling every time I make the switch. As promised, this post includes pictures and hopefully you can see the change in my right front tooth too and it's not just my imagination. Happy reading!
