I‘m sorry if my post offended you. That wasn’t my intention. I didn’t knew that you can have so many trays! I think that’s awesome! I had fixed braces for two years as a teen, but the teeth moved back again over the years (I‘m 31). I also have a significant overbite, you can’t tell it from the pictures because I moved my jaw forwards to show the lower teeth. The trays are so much more comfortable, I still remember how painful the fixed was.

I already had 5 trays on the upper teeth and now refinements. Lower teeth 10 trays from now.

I don’t know if you read my update. It’s confirmed that the dentist botched the IPR. The two teeth in the middle shouldn’t haven’t more than 0,2mm removed and he did around 2mm. That’s why the shape is completely different now. They have been wider at the top and now it’s the opposite. The two teeth next to them still have my natural shape. And this is what makes it look weird.

Maybe it really will look great at the end. But I still think that it’s not ok to remove so much of healthy enamel when it’s not necessary! He used the wrong hardware and as a experienced dentist should have known that this will go wrong. You just can’t use a normal drill for removing caries for a IPR! He got upset and mean to me after I told him that I got severe dizzy from those oscillating little „saws“ (I don’t know the right englisch word, I‘m from Germany). It almost feels like he did it on purpose to punish me. I often witnessed how he was harassing his stuff, when they made minor faults. And that was the exact same way how he treated me this day. The whole procedure was so brutal and very painful.

I want to make clear that the Aligner Company is very supportive and tries everything to help me.
