The Big Five O






I've reached that magic number 50 of my aligners. From the front there is very little visual difference, but there are major things going on up back. Every two weeks I now look like a 2 year old. I get bright red cheeks, sore throat, stomp around all grouchy and impatient. (Mr InvisiLuLu confirms the latter is normal behaviour for me) You guessed it, I am teething. The wisdom teeth are very outraged about the moving around and have informed their county council they are not happy bunnies.

The pictures tell the story. Major movement since #1, and still major movement to happen. Laying #50 over #1 shows how much. My overjet (thanks Anne) is down to 10mm from 12mm. Still a long hike from where it should be, and according to my ortho those front gaps are gonna get bigger than ever. Fugly is only half of what I feel right now.

I passed my 2 year mark this May. I have no friggin clue what the exact date was.

50 down, 33 to go. See you around #60.
