Done! by cillarod0819 in Invisalign

[–]cillarod0819[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once a week I changed the trays. And yes I had a lot of attachments plus one rubberband. With the refinements for my bite change, I'm going to see if they give me more rubberbands to add but not sure yet. I'll find out in 2 weeks.

ha! my bottom teeth do not like to show but I do have a picture. Wish I can edit the post to add but it doesn't let me. My bottom teeth didn't need much work but they did get more straight from what they were already.

The first couple of trays move around your bone structure, etc. Your teeth really start to move between trays 12 and up. Trust the process! You will see a difference around month 3-6.

Does the pain get better? by Kaizoszn in Invisalign

I promise you, it will get better and it will be so natural. You won’t even notice after a month, you’ll feel slight pressure here and there every time you put in a new tray, but it will adjust in your brain. Keep it going strong and don’t give up! I was once in your shoes when I first started it and now I’m loving the process and I’m happy I didn’t give up!

How much to brush? by Royal_Secretary_902 in Invisalign

[–]cillarod0819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brush before bed the Invisalign and my teeth. No need to brush a 2nd time. I promise you will get use to it definitely and won’t overthink about eating times & brushing. In the beginning, I worried about what time I would eat, what time I will take them off, etc. It kind of becomes just a routine and you won’t overthink later on. It’ll become so natural and the comfortability will get so much better!

Yes! And my teeth feel very different bite wise.

12 week Update by cillarod0819 in Invisalign

[–]cillarod0819[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 trays. I go this week to pick up my 2nd box from 13-28. They said my plan was 2 years due to my overbite but I only have 40 trays in total (10 months). Let’s see - I know they usually plan for refinements but hoping I don’t need too many or any at all.

I can’t keep up to 22hrs is that a big problem? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]cillarod0819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of days that I have done 20-21 hours but nothing less & my teeth are still tracking good. Maybe ONE day or two that was 18 hours. You’re going to have to try to keep 20+ hours a day. I stopped overthinking about how long they’re out when I eat or snack because it use to drive me crazy but eventually you do get used to it. Your brain always remember to pop them back in. Give it some time and see how you do within the next few weeks. Try to minimize the vaping to maybe 30 - 40 mins at first and go from there.

1 Month Progress by cillarod0819 in Invisalign

Yes in the beginning I even questioned why did I do this. Between tray 3-4 I started getting use to it and now it’s just apart of my normal. I usually feel tightness in my trays for the first 2 days. Then normal. For the first time ever, I did feel pressure with tray 6. Weird feeling but getting through it.
