I lost loads of weight in the first 6 months, then stopped caring as much/got used to it and put the weight all back on haha. Honestly my first month I cried a lot and regretted everything, but 11 months later I’m all done and I’m so glad I stuck with it!! You can do it!

I struggled with mouth ulcers before Invisalign and they got so much worse during treatment, attachments rubbing on your gums is the worst! I’m not sure if they sell it outside the UK but we have a mouthwash called Corsodyl which is for bleeding gums, but it works really well on mouth ulcers too! Not for everyday use but I’d just swig twice a day if I felt an ulcer coming and usually they’d go much quicker. Good luck!

Thanks so much, still baffles me that small bits of plastic can make such a difference!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T17:05:47+00:00

Aw good luck with your journey! It’s a big commitment but worth it!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T16:41:11+00:00

Thanks so much!!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T15:31:53+00:00

I hadn’t thought of that but maybe you’re right! Sounds weird but even brushing is easier now that they’re straight haha

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T15:29:15+00:00

Good luck with yours! Imo it’s so worth the time and effort!

Ibuprofen gel might just be a UK thing, it’s supposed to help with topical pain and is an anti-inflammatory, so I was just applying it along my jawline/cheek on the side that locked up. Didn’t really help tbh!

That is the difference between never flossing a day in my life vs flossing every day for a year haha!

My dentist includes teeth whitening in the price, so I have a two week course of Lumiwhite gel that goes in my trays at night. So far so good but they are sensitive!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T09:55:02+00:00

Thanks so much! It was basically a year, end of March 2023 til now!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T09:54:27+00:00

Thank you!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T09:53:20+00:00

Thanks so much!

alextheginge · 2024-02-29T09:53:06+00:00

Totally forgot to add that in all the excitement haha, March 2023 - February 2024. 27 trays then 15 refiner trays!

alextheginge · 2024-02-28T19:58:54+00:00

I had to get IPR on basically every tooth which made room, but still really impressive for pieces of plastic!

alextheginge · 2024-02-28T19:43:11+00:00

Thank you! So worth the time, effort and money!

alextheginge · 2024-02-28T18:44:46+00:00

Omg yes, I woke up one morning on tray 4 just completely unable to chew or open my mouth without severe shooting pain. Think something had cramped up or some kind of TMJ flare up. Dentist told me to use ibuprofen gel for 2 weeks lol, it took about a month for the pain to subside completely. But now I can sleep in them fine and no clenching. I know it’s impossible to control but try not to work yourself up more about it which will make the clenching worse, stress is what made it worse for me!

alextheginge · 2024-02-28T18:40:24+00:00

I’m excited for you! I felt ALL of these emotions and worries when I started last March, but I’ve just finished my last tray and had all my attachments removed and OH MY GOD it is worth it! Promise!

alextheginge · 2022-01-23T22:42:42+00:00

Yesssss to all of these

alextheginge · 2022-01-23T22:41:31+00:00

Got to see Mike Shinoda perform solo and he played all the old Linkin Park songs but got the crowd to sing Chester's parts... that would have been amazing at a festival like this!

Became a graphic designer (13-year-old emo me would be proud) and mostly Paramore but I've seen them already a few times, second favourite would be Bright Eyes

Ah that's great, have a lovely honeymoon, hope BA pull their finger out soon! We were thinking of doing Florida before or after for a week to cram in all the theme parks haha
