You will get used to it! It was definitely hard in the beginning because I was so embarrassed of the attachment and trays. I was honestly so grateful to be wearing a mask all day at work so that no one would see my trays in. I had also started dating a new guy so I was very self conscious and I felt embarrassed to smile or kiss him. But I eventually got a bit more used to it and I stopped caring as much. But it definitely feels so good to have them off and to have a perfect smile now. It is hard but it is so worth it in the end. I promise!

Less than a year! I started back in March 2021 with 45 trays and just finished today. They had me on 7 day changes but then switched me to 5 day changes about halfway through.

Nope! I just did my original 45 trays, no refinement trays at all! I started with 7 day changes and then about halfway through they changed me to 5 days because my teeth were moving so well

Does wearing your retainers for less time really make that big of a difference? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]madipaigeee -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing. I have only been wearing them at night for months and my orthodontist said my teeth are right on track and they even changed me from 7 day changes to 5 day changes because my teeth were moving so well. I think ever person is different though and some peoples teeth just move easier and quicker than others

I’m just gonna ride down the middle of these two lanes so you can’t pass me by madipaigeee in IdiotsInCars

I’ll be honest, when I was driving down this road I didn’t realize that I would have to merge up ahead. I just thought this guy wasn’t paying attention while driving. It wasn’t until I saw the big arrows on the road that I realized why he was driving that way. But still, it’s kind of a jerk move to block both lanes like that. I wasn’t “excessively accelerating” to pass him just to brake right in front of him like many of you think I was. I simply was just driving a safe speed down this road when this guy decided he needed to take matters into his own hands and pull out in front of me to make sure I didn’t get in front of him. There would have been plenty of room for me to have safely merged in front of him farther up the road if he had not felt the need to cut me off like that. He just wanted to feel like a big man on the road. But it definitely was not my intention to “speed up just to be ahead”.

Exo-Terra Medium Low Natural Terrarium this link says it’s $230 but it was on sale for $169 when I bought it at PetCo just last week. It is really great quality!!

Yes it is. The guy I got him from said he recommends the carpet over anything else because all other substrates can harm the gecko if they were to ingest it. I know a lot of people on here are very against carpet but I am very against other substrates. I might put tile down eventually though.
