so close, yet so far!

Hi Everyone,
Just a little vent... I'm on 11 of 15 on the bottom and done on the top. Aligner 10 moved my teeth significantly, but now I'm not seeing any movement with aligner 11! I feel like I should see significant movement, as I'm so close to being done.
Anyone else have that experience?

I wouldn't panic, they are all doing something it is just that some movement is more obvious than other I think. There was one area I was convinced hadn't moved until I checked back on past pictures.
I personally think it's generally quite hard to see movement from one set to another.

I usually see very little difference from aligner to aligner. You still have a few aligners to go before finishing, so you're most likely ok. It looks like you'll have at least one ortho check before you finish, so if you feel concerned, you should discuss with your doctor at the next appointment.

Good luck!!
