Well, this morning is the morning that I would normally switch to my next tray, but I didn't have my next tray. Went to the dentist and got a lookings at and my next (and last) five sets.
After reviewing, she used a pair of small pliers to make some bends in my current (tray 14) tray to put some additional pressure on my front two teeth in different spots. I was also told to continue wearing these trays for a few more days because of these new impressions. So Saturday I will switch to tray 15.
I also found out the last three sets are 17+, 18+ and 19+. Apparently the plus means that those are the trays that will take my loosened teeth and shift them and snug them all back up. My dentist told me that not all of them are necessary, and when I switch to 17+ I'll make an appointment to go in and see her and a decision will then be made to determine how much further I need to go. Then where ever the stopping point is, the Invisalign corporation will be contacted to make my retainer off of that tray number, and they'll use the digital image to make those. So no more molds needed (ya!).
Other than the bottom tray being a little tighter to click in due to the pliered marked, nothing new to report. Saturday will probably be a fun day of fun tightness and discomfort though.
