Wow! My Ortho just skipped me ahead a tray...

by accident I think. Last night I put in #6 for the first time. When I went to my appointment this morning he asked me which tray I was on and I told him #6. I think he thought I'd been wearing it for two weeks. Because they used Tray #7 to add a button. And left them on. When I said something about it I think he realized what happend but just said I'd be okay.

So that's fine by me. They're a little tight but I've got to skip ahead 2 weeks. :jump:

That's unusual because usually appointments are scheduled for when you are done a set of aligners. My teeth would be too painful to go in for an appointment the day after I started a new set of aligners. It's also surprising they didn't know or ask when you had changed into #6. I hope it doesn't cause any problems.

That must be part of the problem. My last appointment they put on tray 3 and gave me tray 4, 5, and 6. Then they scheduled the appointment for the day I was to put tray 6 on. The Ortho must have assumed I was done with tray 6.

Anyway, they hurt like heck to take off so I'm leaving them on until tomorrow morning.
