Well, it's Wednesday May 9th. I'm currently in the refinement process, Tray 4, Day 1.
So far there hasn't been much for the upper teeth, since the bottoms are the ones that need refinement. It's been pretty normal, pain for the first couple days, then it's just plastic trays. The top has had a little pressure when initially putting on in the molars. Like it's doing a little spreading. The bottom though have been another story. Have to clip them into the molars as it's trying to spread and then force it down in the front because that's where the work is happening.
On a side note, in straightening the front teeth it feels like it's pulling them out a bit, so when I bite down they are rubbing on my front teeth, which is kinda the whole thing that being corrected by getting the invisalign. I'm having faith that since I'm only half way through the refinement trays it may push them back after it gets them straightened.
Regardless, after the two weeks I'll have an appointment with my dentist to check and determine how many refinement trays we'll do. If things are still off by then I'll be sure to bring it up.
