Set 17 of 27 / Day 2 of 14

Hey Guys, was super busy! Sorry it took me some time to post and reply to comments. I just got to it today. I am actually on set 19 and i didn't have a chance to take pictures of set 18. I will take pictures of set 19 and post in a couple of days.

Just to update, I can't believe that all these years I spent eating with my posterior teeth because I couldn't bite with my front teeth. Eating has been so comfortable.

In my life things are going really good so I'm really happy. Having nice teeth to express that happiness is just the icing on the cake. I go to the gym with one of friends and she says I smile all the time like a psychopath. I can't stop smiling because I feel like I spent the first quarter of my life never smiling because of my teeth, that now I just can't stop!

To tell you the truth, I've been leaving my aligners off more than 2 hours a day which should be the maximum). I have to eat like 5 times a day in small portions to keep my metabolism going. Plus I've been doing a lot more  strength training so I get hungrier more often. To compensate for it, I have been wearing my aligners (and switching to a new set) every 3 weeks instead of 2 weeks. It will delay the completion of my treatment but that's okay with me. I'm in no rush to finish. My dentist also said its better to wear them longer than the minimum time.
