Clear Correct Braces - Update
So it's almost 2012 and I still have not yet finished my Clear Correct treatment. It is completely my fault. Here's the problem, I'm a nurse who works at night, drinks tons of coffee to survive the overnight shift, and loves to snack all day long. When you wear Clear Correct braces you are supposed to wear them 22 hours a day, but you are not supposed to eat or drink things like coffee with them in. That poses a real problem for someone like me, to the point where I just stopped using them. I think I got from tray 8 to 13 last time. Plus, when I would take them out to eat my mouth was so sore eating was no longer enjoyable. I love food so this is hard.
I was seeing a change in the way my teeth looked and I liked it. But once I stopped wearing the trays, my teeth shifted back. Not all the way back because I can still wear tray #13 but enough for me to see a change.
You can see where my dilemma lies but I really do want a picture perfect smile, not to mention I paid a nice bit of money for that smile. So, I'm going to get back on track and get this ish over with. I think I have a total of 21 or 22 trays so I'm just a little over 1/2 way there. I'll keep you guys posted but part of me wishes I would have opted for traditional metal braces that you can't just take off.
