Round 2! New Set of Trays

New Trays
Top: 12
Bottom: 8

Trays: 1, 1 + 2, 2

After waiting for weeks for Invisalign to send the second round of trays, they finally came -mid May. Unfortunately for me, that's the busiest time for my business -mostly travelling to tradeshows.

I made an appt with the dentist, alas, they were on vacation for a week, then it was my birthday -I wasn't going to have pain while enjoying my birthday cake!! At last, the date was settled for this morning. Dr Eric did indicate that if we had postponed the second round any longer then they would have begun charging.

Charging?? I waited a good long while before getting a call to return to the office. I guess patients are just supposed to wait by the phone and plan their lives around 3rd parties. Sheesh!

Today was a good day.
I was patiently waiting for Dr Eric to tell me that he was going to disk between my bottom front teeth but that announcement was never made. He did apply 4 more speedbumps to my teeth and now I taste as though I've been eating bandaids. Disgusting! I swear his speedbump application was different than before, but he claims that I had a glass of wine before the first time anyway.

Funnyman.

Seriously, it felt as though he had inserted a template onto the top and applied the paste into a window that created the speedbump then removed the template after 30 seconds. The template fit just as a tray would.

It came time to insert the new trays. Dr Eric remembered that I like to wet mine first before installing them in the upright position because it's just easier. The first one was pretty easy and incredibly, I dare say, comfortable. The second one I had to actually stand up and look into the mirror because the tray was being just a bit temperamental. I sat back down to have him adjust it as it was just flared beyond the actual jaw, but now fits favorably.

These new sets are very appealing in the sense that they're comfortable -they're deeper and they fit like leather glove. I didn't have to exhibit any temper tantrums in the dentist office today -no pain, no tears.

It looks like I'll have 12 trays for the top and 8 trays for the bottom.

I get to have chicken tonight!
