Tray 6 in!

I put in my #6 trays last night. I was supposed to change them after 12 days but I opted to do the full 2 weeks because they still felt like they were pushing. In any case, here's a picture update. I think I can see the gap between the front two bottom teeth has closed just a tiny bit. This is the first time I've seen a visible change. Before this, I noticed differences in the positioning of my teeth when flossing.

Slight concern. Yesterday when I popped in the new trays, there were large air bubbles visible under the aligners and I could see that the aligners were not making full contact with the bite surface of the molars. The bottom left has been somewhat problematic and that's where I feel like the aligners aren't really doing much and the fit isn't as good as it could be. We'll see though.

The bottom two middle teeth are definitely closer. I hope the rest of the teeth follow soon or I'll look like a fucking rabbit
