SmileDirectClub Updates: Refinements Part 2
It’s been a while since I came to you guys with a written update about my SDC process. But if you’ve been following me on Instagram, and specifically IGTV, I’ve been giving updates.
The Refinement Plan Progress
When I last wrote an update, I had just received my sets of refinement trays and was starting on Month 1/Week 1 of a 2 month plan. Unfortunately, as I got towards the end of my plan in February, it looked like there had been no movement in my upper teeth to close that final gap. Instead, most of the movement was happening in my lower row as the trays worked to correct a tooth that had been over-corrected in the original smile plan.
Back to the Drawing Board
So I made an appointment, and went to a Smile Shop in Hoboken on February 27th for another scan. But this time, I decided to be smart and I coordinated with the PR team so that I wouldn’t be left on an indefinite wait. I was approved for additional refinements and on March 2nd I got my recommended smile plan. Again, it was going to be a 2 month process. However this time, thanks to coordinating with the PR team, I received my aligners on March 9th. But I ended up catching the flu that week and was so sick that I didn’t start my refinement plan until March 13th.
The Second Refinement Plan
So as of today (March 27th), I am going to start my Month 1 Week 3/4 aligners. Just like with my previous smile plan, this will also be a 1 / 1 / 2 format where I have a set for each of the first two weeks, and then one set for the final two weeks of the month. At the end of the Week 3/4 set, I’ll be halfway through my plan. And by May 8th, I’ll hopefully be done for good, and only need retainers to keep my new smile!
Now that I’m halfway through the first month, I can clearly see movement. While I do still have a very tiny gap, it’s shrunk significantly. So, I’m very optimistic that by May my smile will be perfect.
