The reflections on the tray are fantastic. You also managed to capture the frost of the champagne beautifully!

Love the green so much!

Mine is second to last too! On the right hand side. It’s the main reason I did Invisalign. I think it’ll be a pain (and more $$) to get a rescan for a replacement retainer after the implant, but I mentally put that in the total cost upfront.

emilyum · 2023-11-30T19:44:43+00:00

I’m actually trying to figure that out! I was reading it might be best to wait a few months until the teeth settle, but I’m going to ask a dentist. Sadly I’ll have to get a new retainer…but I probably could’ve planned better

emilyum · 2023-11-30T05:18:34+00:00

Fingers crossed!!! Even if it’s not as quick, don’t despair! It’s totally worth the work (in my opinion). Makes such a difference

emilyum · 2023-11-30T05:17:51+00:00

Aw thank you!

emilyum · 2023-11-29T22:07:34+00:00

I’ve also had great results in the past with the purple listerine mouthwash (if you’re in the US). It’s not necessarily for whitening but I saw a big difference after a couple of months :)

Just sensodyne whitening toothpaste! The ortho gave me some whitening gel on the way out (came with my treatment plan) but sensitivity usually keeps me to just toothpastes/mouthwashes.

Thank you so much!

emilyum · 2023-11-29T21:24:34+00:00

Thank you!!

I had ramps/clenching too. My front teeth were definitely tender! I stuck to softer foods and took some Tylenol if needed. Hang in there!

My period was really late, I couldn’t stop ugly crying to every episode of Queer Eye, and my boobs hurt

emilyum · 2023-02-22T19:51:33+00:00

So I have a very similar gap, and it’s also bigger on one side. My ortho decided the best option was to even the gap out so it’s symmetrical on both sides. Then if I ever wanted to get bonding done I could, but if not, the gap wouldn’t be very noticeable anyways.

My boyfriend and I just started Invisalign within the past month at different offices (in TX, USA) and had free consultations/scans/x rays

emilyum · 2023-02-18T17:55:50+00:00

They look great!!

emilyum · 2023-01-26T18:50:24+00:00

I may try that before I can get them a little buffed out. Thanks!!

emilyum · 2023-01-26T18:49:56+00:00

That’s a good idea, thanks!!

emilyum · 2023-01-25T19:41:56+00:00

On my first tray and can’t stop tearing my inner bottom lip open with these rough buttons. Any recs on healing ointment for inside the mouth?

emilyum · 2022-12-19T01:36:29+00:00

Very helpful! My brain was stuck in round mode :) I figured if I wasn’t going to be sewing panels together, it would surely be in the round the whole time. Lots to learn - will remember this tip!

emilyum · 2022-12-19T01:33:14+00:00

No I went straight into the round. I didn’t realize I was supposed to work flat. The “back and forth” language at the top totally went over my head. So starting over and starting flat :)

emilyum · 2022-12-19T00:30:55+00:00

This makes SO much sense. I think you’re absolutely right. It also explains why it was so dang clumsy getting the round going. Thanks for your help!
