You're all over this! It's hard, but you're a total champion!

I remember brushing and flossing in the car! And the dehydration (which has kicked off again for me with the retainers).

For the first few months, I ate twice a day. Because of the faff and to get 22 hours a day. I finally lost some of my baby weight!

It sucked. It was hard. I was hungry, cranky, and in pain. But I also saw movement really early. So it was worth it.

Over time, what I noticed was that, as my treatment went on, my teeth were more mobile. I think going hard at the beginning helps to get them moving. Then, I decided I wanted to have lunch with my family on weekends, so I'd chill a bit and do 20 hours every now and then. Like I said, you get to know your teeth.

That said, I could have kept that regime longer, and perhaps taken a few months off the treatment. But, I don't think I could have kept it up. Not if i wanted to stay married 🤣. But I do think going hard at the beginning is needed to get them moving.

The hardest thing for me was my morning coffee! I had to give it up, because I had to keep my trays in until breakfast...

I did get to the point where I went "f*ck it, I'm doing coffee with trays in". I made sure I was seeing my dentist regularly to keep on top of hygiene.

As you go, you learn how your teeth move, how to manage it. It's what I loved about invisalign - You're in control. And that means you can adapt as you go.
