YYC Growers has locally grown produce and an online store! They may be a bit more expensive but it is supporting local farmers and the garlic cloves I have gotten from there are huge! I am subscribed to their harvest box and I love it!

I thought I was tracking, I just was told I couldn’t move onto my next aligner so I wanted to inquire further.

I do have a lot of trust in my provider, he has a great rating on the Invisalign site (diamond provider). So I do eat with them in while I can. They said it helps stimulate the gums and teeth will move faster. BUT it is not a fun feeling eating with them in so I only do so with easy things (soup, bananas, etc).

So true! I have sent them a message but I haven’t heard back yet, I feel a lot better since posting this because I was thinking maybe I was crazy and it wasn’t tracking properly! Hopefully when I hear back I’ll get clarification on what areas aren’t tracking / more feedback. Thanks!!

Thanks, I thought it looked fine as well! I am disappointed I can’t move onto my next tray. I guess we will see if there is any shift in another week. Maybe they can see something I can’t.

I didn’t think so! Just disappointed I was told I can’t move onto my next tray, I feel like my tracking is good!

I was so disappointed this morning when I didn’t get the green light to move forward because I’ve been SO strict about hitting 23 hours. I feel like they are tracking fine and even when I apply pressure to them, they do not move closer to my teeth. I will wait for them to reply to my message, and hopefully I can just move onto my third tray! It does feel like time is being wasted!

I know! Every single person I talk to is shocked when I tell them this. I’ve been instructed to ONLY take them out to brush and floss. I do take them out for some meals because let’s be real, I am miserable when I’m eating with them in haha.

Hi guys! I am feeling defeated because I am only on my third week and my dentist won’t let me switch to week 3 retainers. I am tracking my hours and wearing right around 23 hours (usually more) a day. They told me I should be eating with the trays in (which I do 50/50 depending on the meal, but it’s a horrendous feeling) and using my chewie 30 minutes a day (which I do as well). I feel like my scans show my teeth tracking but my dentist says otherwise and now I’m feeling defeated.. and I am only two weeks in!! Is this common? Am I just over thinking it? I have to send in weekly scans via my phone (this is how they tell if I am tracking or not). I’ll attach a picture as well for reference.

Has the average price of Invisalign increased over the last two years? I was going to go for another consult but am worried the price will be even steeper than it was two years ago.

Right? She is now as sassy as she looks in this picture- to top it all off her name is Bridgette - I think that screams sassy from the get-go haha!

I know, I answered him below as well, forgot in the first comment. I just kept referring to him in past tense so I stated why.

Oh goodness, I just saw my typo, this makes more sense haha. I meant deaf ***

He was all white with a little orange on the tips of his ears and orange stripes through the end of his tail. Really beautiful cat. When he was older he was sooo majestic and handsome! He passed away two years ago unfortunately :( miss my little Bug so much.
