Not a lot to report for this week. No change in aligner normally means it is the same story as before. The aligner is not embedded well, no pain at all and it’s got to the easy part where I just wait for the next one. Can hardly notice it now. So much so that I had forgotten to put it back in after eating last night because I am used to not noticing if it is in or not.

I have noticed the gaps on the side of my teeth have closed up, but the front gap is still there, I will post pictures...

Today I had to visit the Orthodontist again to collect trays 3 and 4. I had the tooth shaving done too, which you can read in the next blog as decided it should have it's own section as this is a common question of concern for people when choosing the Invisalign treatment, or as some have been unfortunate enough to find out during the treatment.

Anyway, after the teeth shaving, which I must reiterate really was not that bad I then had to have my 3rd Invisalign brace fitted. I cannot...

Strange feeling in my tooth these past few days. I have a feeling in one of my top back teeth of pain. I have never had a cavity, any fillings or anything like that so don’t have anything to compare it too, but yesterday I was chewing gum (when aligners were out) and got a sharp pain in the tooth.

I don’t feel it when drinking cold water, or eating, just when I chewed gum. I have since done it again and the feeling came back, now when I bit down on my Invisalign trays when they’re...

Well it is the end of my second week now since getting my Invisalign fitted. I had read that putting the brace on in the evening before bed would help with the uncomfortable feeling you get when changing the brace. So last night, before bed I fitted set 2 of 16 (top)/19 (bottom).

I have to say it was very uncomfortable. I think this might be because I had been used to the previous trays, and they were so easy to put in and take out again, that I had almost blanked out my initial problems...
