Treatment Week 3 - Pink Putty & Testimonials.

So it's week 3 of my treatment and I've had my aligners for a week now.

Just been to see the marvelous Mrs. Peverley for my weekly appointment and she's extremely happy with my first weeks progress. The gaps where teeth were filed have begun to close and I feel like that frustrating front tooth has begun to move.

After a scout about my mouth it was time for the pink putty and new impressions. In case you haven't seen this before, mouth size trays are filled with putty (pink putty at Oliver's!). One tray at a time an impression is taken, where the tray is inserted into the mouth and pushed so your teeth squidge into the goo. The putty sets around the teeth and a mould is made like the picture below.

Please note this isn't my impression.

My impressions will be on their way to the Quick Straight Teeth guys to make my next aligner ready to be fitted next week!

After my appointment I sat down with Joanne and Claire to record my first video testimonial for the Oliver's Dental website. My aligners were in and I really didn't want to whistle or schlurp. I feel like it went and I'm sure it will appear on the website for me to have a cringe at, Joanne also has the clip from SunFM, which will make an appearance too.

I've got a busy week this week, Cheryl Cole tomorrow and a big laugh on Friday night with Kevin Bridges.
Keep you updated - keep smiling!
