Tough Roots

Turns out that my Invisalign hasn't been going quite as smoothly as we thought. There are a couple of teeth on the bottom that don't appear to want to move. I haven't been wearing my aligners the 22 hours a day as recommended, but pretty close.

My options now are to either try going back to earlier aligners (was on 16, now back on 11), or do a refit and what they call a "mid-course correction." Since I'm so close to being done with my top aligners (done at #18), I've decided to wait until the top teeth are done, and then see how the bottom teeth are doing.

This is a bit annoying, but not really to bad. My main goal with this ordeal was to fix some painful teeth issues I was having, and this has been accomplished. Everything else now is gravy.
