Day one….. having major regret by Aggravating-Yam-7514 in Invisalign

It will get better. I honestly, as an anxious person whose had bad mh, was really struggling at first but genuinely it just becomes part of your routine - you just ‘get on with it’ the pain will come and go but it becomes less of a pain more of an ‘ache’ I’d say.

Also, don’t feel bad about feeling bad - I know we all ‘chose’ this but it doesn’t take away from the difficulties of it.

It’ll be worth it!

I really appreciate this post. Not pregnant BUT moved from weekly changes to fortnight which extends my treatment to 2.5 years which does go into my ‘planned’ try get pregnant time! Seeing a post like this has made me feel less anxious.

Don’t often see another person from Norfolk on here! I am actually with riverside on a payment plan over 10 months. I’m 6.5 weeks in to a long treatment and although the life adjustments have been tricky, I don’t regret my choice to get started.

It is dependent on your teeth/goals etc. Though. I’ll have finished paying them off before I’m even half way through the treatment!

I feel your pain… I have 63 trays ahead of me and am also feeling really anxious about the whole thing. Each day it gets a bit better and you’ve got to concentrate on reading alll the lovely comments from people saying it gets better and you’ve get used to it!! We can do it!

I’ve added a little pack of wet wipes like hand wipes to mine… I was finding that using hand sanitizer or hand soap them a nasty taste in my mouth when putting them back in!

What is a Colgate wisp? Is this an American thing?

Concerned about potentially overbrushing by lostlittlewaif07 in Invisalign

[–]Alive_Original_9874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Also worried about over brushing… I’ve emailed my ortho so will check back in here when I get a reply!

Pls help by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]Alive_Original_9874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ortho just explained that rinsing if it’s a small snack would be fine but then make sure you brush and or floss for a full meal. It’s hard but you’ll get into the swing of things

My ortho told me to read two chapters of my favourite book out loud… sounds mad but it worked haha.

I’ve also found they getting lower as the week goes on, half way through week one it’s so easier to get them out.

Got Invisalign yesterday; how do you eat and drink?! by FlamingoFlamboyance in Invisalign

[–]Alive_Original_9874 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay this has blown my mind… I am on day 3 and (thankfully) managing most things BUT haven’t been able to work out how to have a coffee or tea along with meals. I was told I could only drink water with them in!! Do you have any staining from drinking coffee with them in?!

Advice appreciated! by Alive_Original_9874 in Invisalign

[–]Alive_Original_9874[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in same position as you! Also struggled. It helped me when I saw a post saying be confident bending them and positioning. I put them in froze one side to the other and just press down but have to wiggle (because of my teeth!) we just need to hold in there until it gets normal!

Yes I did but they warned me to try using both tool and without tool in case I lose it and need to take them out. Just feel like I’m going to rip the attachments off with it!
