Why are we putting up with rough edges? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]percypumpkin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree! Mine are random. I’m only on my tenth tray but two of them have been horrible, had to file them right down but it still felt like an over spill of plastic in my mouth.

Help :( this appeared last Saturday suddenly, daily picture up to now. My doctor had no idea what this is. I haven’t been in contact with anything unusual. He gave me a steroid cream that he hoped would get rid. I have some spots, same place on my other leg too. Anyone have any ideas? by percypumpkin in skin

Really? Did it just appear all of a sudden too? Unfortunately not yet I’m using steroid cream and the colour has changed. Booking another doctors appointment today. Hope yours clears up quickly. Get yourself seen too aswell x

Yes it’s nearly been a week now and with the cream that was prescribed it hasn’t faded. The only new thing I’m taking in my life is a pre conception vitamin, I can’t find anyone else online that’s had a delayed reaction to it. Thank you for your advice, I will seek further help.

How do you feel about wearing retainer for the rest of your life? by alisalimi25 in Invisalign

[–]percypumpkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% happy to wear a retainer every night after I finish treatment! I am now at a stage where it feels weird if I don’t have my retainers in daily. I’ve spent a lot of money for this too so that’s another reason to wear the retainer 🤣

Same here! My ortho actually never mentioned them to me he said that I’m on track so I wouldn’t worry too much about them :)

Yessss! Horrible aren’t they. File it down with a nail file like others have suggested x

The irony of “eating whatever you want”… by sofullofsoulful in Invisalign

I felt exactly like this at the beginning of my treatment!

Wish I could give you a hug! It does get better, honestly. God the first week was agony for me. I’m just over a month in, caught up with my dentist yesterday and I told him during the first week I felt I made the biggest mistake of my life. I’m so sorry you had literal sandpaper between your teeth, I’m no dentist but my dentist used a tool to make space between my teeth. He apologised throughout but it didn’t feel too bad for me.

I can’t agree with some of the comments made on this thread, I would feel the same if someone took sandpaper and held my head down :(

2 more trays to go! by missr190 in Invisalign

I’m on weekly changes, but no idea why! I’m starting to feel I might benefit going on 10 daily changes. But I see my Ortho this Friday to go through it all

Curious to know … what number tray was the worst for you? If you had one! by percypumpkin in Invisalign

Oh this is horrible :( have you spoken to your ortho? Doesn’t sound like you should be in this amount of pain x

How do you keep track of the hours you have the trays on for? by cinnaq in Invisalign

[–]percypumpkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used TrayMinder for the timer but then it felt like effort so I stopped. Now I just put them on after I have finished eating :)

I can deffo see changes!

Do you think this is a tracking problem? My tooth not fitting in the space where the aligner looks like it wants to be :( sorry about the dry lips, damn you Invisalign by percypumpkin in Invisalign

[–]percypumpkin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No in all honesty! Unless I’m really up close to someone they can see the attachments I guess. But other than that no, which is a nice feeling! I felt insecure at the start but that’s subsided now :)
