Update of my Richmond Hill Invisalign treatment!

I am now on aligner #9. I'm reaching the point where I have become used to the aligners, and it actually feels weird when I'm not wearing them. Everytime I switch into a new aligner, I notice my teeth are sore (because they're moving). To me, this soreness is comforting because it means there is movement happening. The soreness fades a few days after, and it doesn't come back until the new aligner goes in. I've already noticed some shifting in my lower centrals and canines. My lower centrals used to be over-crowded and my canines were rotated. Not only are they straightening out, but there's a nice space in between to help them move easier. It was very difficult to floss inbetween them, but now it's a breeze. My canines are also sore for a few days after I switch into new aligners, because they were really rotated.. My arch width will continue to expand betwen my canines, premolars, and molars. There's more movement to be done, but what a great start. It's really exciting to be able to see visible changes. Below are my progress photos, enjoy!
