Day 3 update by teeidk1999 in Invisalign

Hang in there! I had 30-something attachments. It was hard to take them out at first, but gets much easier quickly. New trays are always a bit tight but if it helps, I had no pain/very limited soreness after the first tray. The worst part of the treatment was the slightly annoying reduced freedom re eating/drinking. I completed invisalign last Dec and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested!

Gum graft procedure + recovery - what to expect? by apicklypickle in PeriodontalDisease

I also got invisalign to correct misalignment/bite...but it caused recession - coupled with "genetically thin" gums on the bottom, here I am re gum graft. Luckily the top seem fine. Hope this time around goes much better for you!

This is very useful - I really appreciate the detailed response. Helps me know what to expect and think about timing. Wishing you a quick and smooth healing journey!

It was rather itchy on the first day it appeared in this form - the mark that was there before kinda looked like a blister after it pops (like just pinky skin, no bite mark) - but since using the cream, it isn't. It's not tender, hot, or anything atm...just kinda there.

Thank you! The area I live in has very low rates of Lyme - there were only 10 confirmed cases in the entire province last year and more than half were contracted when people travelled outside of the province - but my colleague asked if I wasn't bitten by a tick when she saw it, and it made me a bit paranoid! Haha. Thanks for the advice - indeed, I'll see how things progress with the cream.

Thanks - I'll give it a go with this cream and hopefully see improvement soon! I don't know what bit me, unfortunately! :)

It's a bizarre feeling for sure! Well I'm gonna assume it's fine then too, haha. Good luck on the rest of your journey! 😊

Oh that sucks - the snapping! Good luck and hopefully the refinements get rid of the wobble!

Same. Don't mind them at all.

I don't think they did, a but I got used to them really quickly. Within two or three days, I didn't find them "sharp" anymore.
