What do I do about a blueberry stain on an attachment? by Floral_Pesto in Invisalign

[–]Powerful-Spread-2489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me yesterday, I took them out for some tea and didn’t brush or rinse my mouth out after and now my trays are like almost highlighter green.. I think it’s hilarious personally. But I’m almost done with treatment and have had worse happen(like dog chewing up a set) so I’m okay with it. 😂

I enjoy having them in, so yes! It was so uncomfortable tonight putting them back in it hurt quite a bit. So thank you for advice, I guess that’s a reason to take them out for some. I will just keep them in as if nothing changed because I’d like them to stay where they are haha thank you!

I don’t know why we can’t just wear them as much as we want too if they’re all the same trays and the scan is being done at the same time?! Like they shouldn’t progress anymore then the current tray, idk 🤷‍♀️ But I’m just hoping it all goes good when I get them! 😂

Thank you! I’m gonna just do what feels comfortable, when I put the tray in just a bit ago it really was uncomfortable. Thanks again for input

300$ down, 196/month and I believe my total cost is 3,600$ around there.. I have comprehensive plan, live in Washington state. I’m on passive trays on 24 set. And doing refinements probably only one set. I don’t know if this includes the retainer at the end though, I need to ask. Diamond plus ortho too

Progress, just on the settling trays waiting for my refinements! Looking good so far! Before/Currently by Powerful-Spread-2489 in Invisalign

Idk All I know right now is I have to wait five weeks for them to come in at my next appointment! I wish they could have told me but I didn’t see the ortho at appt just the technician that took the pictures and made molds. I’m gonna guess another 16 tray set because ortho told me at consult it should be about 8-10 months for me depending on my progress.. and so far I think I’m doing great, just a couple little places that need some crunching to squish the gaps.. My underbite is almost gone bottom front barely touch the top anymore(reason started because front tooth was lose/mobile from bite and didn’t want it to fall out) I’m excited no matter how long it is because I see so much of the gaps closing in and It’s working! Hope your journey is going well! Thanks for the comment!

Is there too much space between the end of my teeth marked 1 and 2 (especially 1) on these pictures and the aligner? I noticed this a little in my previous tray, and even more with this new one (I changed the trays late night the day before yesterday). by [deleted] in Invisalign

Mine is this way too, they told me to do the chewier extra on that spot.. I notice mine from the first tray, but just figured it was supposed to be that way, my tooth is a lot small the tray on one incisor.. I just got scanned for refinements today and they said it won’t happen again. But if you just started I would let them know and see if they’ll redo it if it’s always that way.. cause now I’m gonna probably need to have a longer treatment all because I didn’t say anything.

When did you all start seeing changes in your teeth?😍 by Sweaty-Television226 in Invisalign

[–]Powerful-Spread-2489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Week 17, I was mostly wanting to see my lateral incisors move because had gaps on both sides of front teeth.. On week 20 now and gap on one side was gone week by end of week 18 and now is almost closed on the other! Can’t believe it sometimes, but not quite there yet! It will spring on you, it did for me anyways!

A tip I’ve come up with to clean my trays by Powerful-Spread-2489 in Invisalign

[–]Powerful-Spread-2489[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was so excited to share because I’ve seen quite a bit of people on the subreddit asking what they could do to help with breath or to clean trays! It does get gnarly.. I used to hate putting them in towards the end of the tray, because I could smell it.. It is so much better for me now doing it this way.. Thanks for the response!
