Things are still going along remarkably uneventfully. However, I do have one concern that I will bring up with my orthodontist at my next appointment later this week. One of my more crooked teeth is obviously not behaving the way it's supposed to. You can see it in this picture:
It's the one on top just to the right of the large one in the center. You can see that it doesn't fill out the bottom of the tray, because it's not moving like it's supposed to. The attachment on the tooth no longer comes anywhere near the notch on the tray. This means that the flat part of the tray is actually being pressed out by the attachment, distorting the tray and affecting how it lays on the next tooth. I took this picture more than a week ago, I can tell that it's even worse now with the next tray in. That tooth is not moving.
I'm not sure what they do when things don't go as planned. All the trays are made for the whole process already. If it's bad enough do they start over with new molds? Or do they just ride the process out and then make extra corrections at the end somehow? I guess I'll find out soon.
