Wow... I can't believe I'm already in the double digits. I can now say I'm halfway done (with the initial phase) with my bottom trays!!!! And probably around 1/4th for the tops.
Tray 9 wasn't too bad. I just popped in Tray 10 a little while ago. The bottoms were pretty hard to get on and a little painful in the front, but I got them on. That one "problem attachment" is still causing the tray not to sit flatly on that tooth, but it doesn't look any worse than the last two trays... so I'm not worrying about it.
I found out my sister-in-law will be getting her Invisalign in the next few weeks, and she thinks she has 30-some trays. I know I'll be answering a lot of her questions when she gets started, but I'm very excited for her! We'll be Invisalign twins :)
Not much else to say... just preparing for a maybe-crazy snow storm. The forecast has lessened quite a lot as tonight/early tomorrow morning gets closer, whereas my parents and brother and sister-in-law a few hours north are expecting a lot. I am just hoping for one last snow storm, enough to close down the office... then spring and warm weather can come and stay (I prefer warmer weather).
Before I go, here's pictures I just took of my teeth, wearing Tray 10 for a mere 30 minutes...

Two weeks from now I'll have my next orthodontist appointment, and get at least Trays 11, 12, and 13. Wow. I'll become an Invisalign "teenager" before I know it!
Before I go, I'm going to include some comparison shots. I took the photos from my orthodontist (see last entry) and put together a picture, comparing, side-by-side, my teeth pre-Invisalign and my teeth tonight (no trays). After I compared the shots, I realized the angles were different, but hopefully it gets the point across...
