Changing to set 7

Hi everyone!

My goodness, it's been a whole 12 weeks since I got my first set of Invisalign Aligners! Time seems to have gone so fast. I always thought it would be the opposite, since you are counting in two week periods, but the time has just shot past! I am changing into my 7th set of aligners tonight after dinner, and I really can't wait for the pain - I know that sounds bazaar, but for me, pain = progress now! (Wish my brain thought similar of the time I should be spending at the gym but not!)

Thank you to all my avid readers, I started off this blog feeling like the only person in existance to be dealing with Invisalign to correct my crooked teeth, but through the magic ofthe internet, I now have a humble six followers (you know who you are!) and quite a lot of page views. Big kudos here to www.answers.yahoo.com who helped me spread my blog-seed while answering Invisalign questions, and to Facebook also - I've been updating my status whenever I write a new post (well, you would certainly know this if you are a facebook user, thank you for not blocking me haha!)

I have come to a bit of a dilemma with the dates surounding my aligner changes. When I went to my ortho last, he gave me 4 sets, instead of three, which is great, but there were no appointments for a Thursday in 8 weeks time, so I had to take a Tuesday. This now means, well, I don't exactly know what it means, but anyway, I have two less days of treatment, since my ortho always get me to "wear" my newest set he gives me, so he can check if it's progressing ok. So, does this mean that with set 9 I wear them for 12 days instead of the 14? Or if for sets 8 and 9 I wear them for 13 days each? A bit confusing in my book. Also, this means (and it couldn't have been avoided but it still stinks a bit) that I have to do my hour long trip to Kerikeri (and the hour back) twice in one week, as on the Friday of the same week I have a wedding to be an awesome bridesmaid at! Gunna be an expensive week, lucky my car is economic(ish) and a good runner! I would hate to have to take Josh's holden, for example!

So I better tell you about set 6, what happened since my last post on day 4. Answer: nothing remarkable. I put them in. I take them out. I brush, floss and rinse, and put them back in. Although, after being so happy about not having a crack in set 5, guess what I got in set 6? Thank you, universe. Not. It was a real pinchy one this time, got a few tastebuds caught :(

Now I will of course keep you updated on the progress of set 7, but for now, I have to cut this one not-so-short, before I waffle anymore (I thought my school-exam-waffling days were over!!)

Have a good day everyone, thank you for tuning in, and be sure to stop by again soon!
