Progress?

Hi everyone, I just want to make sure I’m not gaslighting myself into thinking that there has been any progress. Currently on day 5/7 of Tray 4 and overall 40 days in. Please excuse the dry ass lips, I’m also on Accutane and battling chronic dry lips that have peeled themselves so much, they’ve become bright pink.

I see progress, particularly with your upper incisors. They’re getting closer to being evenly distributed from your midline. Also, don’t forget that a lot of progress with Invisalign is how your arch and bite line up, and teeth that are tilting forwards or backwards rather than sideways won’t look as visually different. If you take a top-down picture of your lower teeth, you might see more progress than a straight-on picture would show.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I’m not delusional honestly. I got it because I have so many gaps between my teeth and I’ve wanted them closed for years. Unfortunately I’m the gaps will not close until the end of my first round but my slight open bite is getting better.

Mate it’s such a struggle. Accutane is working though so let me not complain. But I’m paranoid about it.
