Halfway point

How could I have missed the fact that I am now at the halfway point? Now, when I say halfway, I mean that I am on set 11 of 22 upper and lower aligners; but I know quite well that this is just the initial treatment. There could be a whole new set of refinements when I hit the magic 22. Even so, I am quite pleased to be at the 50% mark - things have gone well, I have not had much trouble adjusting to Invisalign, and hope the rest goes as well.

On another note, while checking into a hotel yesterday, the bell hop said "can I ask you a personal question?" I said "fire away" and he said "does your insurance cover Invisalign?" I told him that my insurance covers about one-third of the $6600 price tag. I also said that I was surprised he could tell I was wearing the aligners - nobody has ever said anything before, and as I noted in an earlier posting, my wife and even orthodontist don't even notice. Anyway, he said he went through 2 sets of braces - once as a teen and again in his 20s, and he feels his teeth have shifted again. Funny, they looked movie star perfect to me...
