5 week progress!

The first photo is from 5 weeks ago, prior to attachments, IPR on the bottom 4 teeth and tray 1. The second photo is from this morning. I start tray 6 tomorrow night (7 day changes). Amazed at the quick progress!

How bad is it?

One dentist told me that I do not have gum disease & another said that I do. She said it’s stage 1. I’m feeling uneasy with two different answers and I would really appreciate feedback.

Pale gums?

I’m on day 5 of tray #1/21. Is the paleness normal along my gum line?

ETA: My gums returned to normal ~10 minutes after taking the trays out. I’m just not sure if I should be concerned if blood flow is restricted 22 hours per day. It perfectly lines up with my tray lines.

Day 4!

Day 4 of my first treatment; Aligner #1/21. Wearing for 7 days per tray. Projected 12 month treatment. I had 0.5mm shaved down between my bottom 4 teeth & will have the remaining 0.5mm shaved down at my next visit. Already noticing a correction to my bottom 4 front teeth & my left lateral incisor! I’ll post updates to this page as it progresses. I attached the projected end result.
