Tray 30 update on 3/11/2020
(One week and 2 days into treatment)
Today I have an appointment to 1. see if I need refinement (fairly certain I do), 2. scan and take off attachments, 3. if no need for refinement, order a retainer.
I believe I need refinements because of three (noticable) things:
1. My right canine (#6) is still sitting a bit lingually on the mesial side (it seems tucked behind #7 a bit?), 2. The right lateral (#26) sits a bit behind the rest of my teeth. Granted, these two teeth had the MOST movement so I expected this to be an issue. 3. My two jaws do not comfortably come together when my trays are out. They feel strained when I try to touch my molars together. I’m not sure of this is because I am so used to the comfort of the trays and the bite ramps or not, so I’m trying to do jaw exercises to get used to bringing them together all the way.
Still need a couple fillings and a whitening but they made need to wait until the next round is over. On the bright side, I’ll have extra time to save up money for my implant or bridge in the meantime.
I’m going to update later on how today’s appointment goes!
