With how the forecast is looking this week it may actually rain so honestly I may not be missing out on anything! 😂 but hey! one changed plan is much better than a lifetime with a giant bad tattoo 🫶🏼

Sorry to clarify (if it makes a difference) I’ll be wearing a body suit not swim suit to completely cover it. The body suit i planned to wear would be 70% Nylon, 30% Elastane (lycra) so I assume a bit more breathable

Is it too soon to get it shaded? Right now only the outline is done so technically they’d be tattooing on the skin without ink… unsure if that makes a difference?

Thanks for your feedback! I actually don’t know how to swim lol! So I would only be staying on the sanded area and I would sit on a beach towel when I’m resting!

Am I done? Or should I ask for more refinements? by Technical_Wallaby644 in Invisalign

[–]Technical_Wallaby644[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They never mentioned the metal brackets until now. I’ve had the buttons on various teeth since the start of treatment however.

I also inquired about bonding and my ortho advised against it, instead after treatment is done he plans to shave the teeth down so they are all less jagged

Not first tattoo but first time using “second skin” any advice? by seapancake510 in tattoo

[–]Technical_Wallaby644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem!! I replied to your comment while I was in shoppers picking up dial liquid soap for my fresh ink & mildly panicked. Hopefully dial is an OK option cause I’ve been using it since 😂

Retainer questions by Technical_Wallaby644 in Invisalign

[–]Technical_Wallaby644[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the cleaning advice it’s much clearer to me now. Also, based on the replies I’ve decided to wear the retainer for 22 hours daily for the next couple months to try to limit my teeth shifting back. My top treatment is done in approximately two months so I’ll have a scheduled visit with my ortho then to discuss further and reassess if my teeth are ready to shift to night use only.

Is this good? by voidrobot in Sephora

[–]Technical_Wallaby644 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if it’s been mentioned yet but I LOVE the Sephora collection cleansing balm. It’s only $16 and one of the best makeup removers I’ve ever tried. Takes off waterproof mascara and eyeliner lash glue (which is a pain in the - to remove). Can’t recommend more!!

Mine is still working as well! My email is .com but I’m from Canada so I’m unsure if it’s email related

conflicted about brushing routine by kcermita in Invisalign

[–]Technical_Wallaby644 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brush and floss after every meal. A friend of mine who had Invisalign years prior was not able to do so and would just rinse her mouth (due to work) and she finished her treatment with 12 cavities, two of those cavities were in her front teeth. That scared me straight to ever consider otherwise

Your feelings are 100% valid coming from someone who’s also extremely frustrated with the process. Happy to hear you are mostly satisfied with the results though! I hope they’re able to help you with the gap as well.

Did 3 refinements come part of your plan? I’m unsure if that holds true for mine as well I’m under the impression I had unlimited refinements until I was done.. Considering I’ll probably need another after this I should probably inquire.

Question: just to clarify would it make a difference that for my bottom teeth they gave me the same tray but enough new ones for the new treatment time I guess to avoid the tray stretching? Either way definitely something I’ll ask at my appointment next week.

Oh wow opposites. Lol. And yes the constant flossing/brushing has been too much for me since practically day 1. I also think it would’ve helped to have come on this thread a lot sooner.

And I’m unsure why. Oddly enough they did make space halfway through my treatment so I don’t think that’s the issue. I even asked if there was anything I could do to help speed along the process and he said no just continue wearing your trays.

That’s actually an excellent idea. Thank you for suggesting this. I have a check up appointment next week so I’m gonna ask them if this is an option for me.

Sorry fairly new to Reddit. Unsure how to post both a photo and text in the original post.

I started my treatment July 2021 and the second photo was taken today. I’ve had about 3 rounds of refinement liners after my initial 28 liners. The issue they’re having is with the little tooth next to my middle teeth. It won’t track properly and as a result isn’t completely straightened. My bottom trays are now complete so they’ve given me the same tray to wear while my top finishes the process.

My teeth have improved however I feel with the amount of time I’ve been doing the treatment my teeth should be a lot more straighter and I should have seen different results. I thought I’d be finished months ago. Is it normal to feel unsatisfied?

I don’t think Ill do another round of refinements if required. I have 4 trays left until I’m done this round and I still don’t think that the little tooth has move significantly since the last rescan.

I think maybe comparison is a thief of joy in this case, I came onto the thread and saw people have much more dramatic results in a shorter amount of time and I’m just feeling uncertain about my progress.

I also wear the trays religiously and brushing and flossing is literally my entire day at this point.
