Nothing exciting to report since the last post, been a pretty poor invisalign user of last couple of months to be fair, been going dar longer than the recommended time with the out per day, but anyway today was the day! Invisalign finished!
So turned up at the dentist, wasn't 100% sure what to expect, First he put on the retainer, lots of horrible drilly/ filey tools - not quite sure what was going on but wasn't pleasant, but had my retainer by the end of it! They lots more horrible filey ...

Been back to the Ortho today, got trays 23-27 :-) Getting there now, should be done by end of April
All going well, Updated my photos and there's some great differences between now and before I first started! (thankfully!)
Asked about retainers as he hasn't mentioned this before, but looks like I'll have a fixed one at the end which is what I want.
The world of straight teeth is nearly here! x

Hey, not posted for a while but everything has been going smoothly, so not a lot to report!
Been to ortho today, just had my last IPR - Whoo i hate all that! and been given trays 18-22. My next appointment is 13th Dec so more or less a year from having my first trays and I will have got through 22 of them! Time does fly with invisalign!
Feels like I'm on the homeward stretch now at last

My tray snapped on me in work tonight - damn it! but its 2 weeks tonight so no problems moving on to the next set. Until, I got home went to put number 14 in and checked the number on the ones I has in. I had number 12 in my mouth, 13 wasn't in its packaging - I was sure that's what I should of been wearing anyway. After a hunt through my handbag i found another set of trays, some where along the line with 13, I've had a muddle up and put 12 back in! Duh!!! just put 13 in again and they're pretty ...

Hey,
All going smoothly in general.
Although, was hoping to see changes by now and don't feel there are that many. I'm not half way through my treatment on my top teeth yet so guess I should be patient. Overall they seem slightly better but when comparing to photographs taken for my first tray, movement seems minimal. I think my top arch has widened and the gap where I had my tooth out is starting to close, although I can't figure out where the movement to close this has come from. ...

Hey,
trays 8 and 9 gone smoothly, been back today had IPR done on the upper teeth, was over quickly and not bad at all :-) got another lot of IPR in 10 weeks.
Ortho happy with my progress so all good!

Hi,
tray 7 in, no major problems apart from the one tooth as usual.
But, I went out the other night, I looked at the photos the next day, and there's ones of me with a huge smile and I don;t feel the need to cringe about my teeth!!!
There's no huge changes to my teeth as of yet I'm only on set 7 of 29, they do still stick out but there's enough to give me that little bit of confidence! Happy Happy me! Roll on tray 29!!!

Had my first official appointment with my Ortho yesterday after having the initial trays. I was expecting lots of IPR and scary stuff, but none of that happened He just checked the spaces between my teeth said they were ok and sent me away with more trays. I have to go back before tray ten for IPR on my top teeth, then by looking at the Clincheck I should only have one more lot of IPR to go.

My ortho put my new trays in for me, and managed to catch my cheek in them :-( Think ...

I'm having problems,I put my new set of trays in on Monday night and my bottom ones are cutting my tongue to pieces, I've filed it down don't really know if its worked because my tongue is so painful anyway. I tried putting my last trays back in and that still hurt so until my tongue heals I think everything is going to hurt :-(
I've had my bottoms out most of the day and am hoping my tongue will heal so I can wear them again, going to put them back in to go to bed. I know its bad to have ...

Just a quick update! Trays 4 went fine, did seems to split it quite badly towards the end of the last week so had to adjust the way I was taking the tray out and this seemed to prevent any further splitting.

Have noticed a little difficulty speaking, Had to give a presentation in uni so took my trays out for this as I've had problems with my /th/ and /s/, I don't think its that noticeable but I hate doing presentations anyway so didn't need anything else to be concious of. went ok ...

Hi,
Just put tray number 4 in. Had a few problems getting it over an attachment at the bottom but snapped in ok on the 3rd attempt. Both felt really tight when I put them in but seemed to have eased off now which is good, i already have a cold, don't need another reason for a sleepless night!
Only one more set of trays left before its back to see my ortho! Time's flying already!!!

Hi,
I feel like the dentist has been my new second home the last couple of weeks!
First I had to go back to have my attachment reattached. Apparently attachments falling off is very rare and my ortho seemed surprised and suspicious I didn't know how I lost it. maybe he though I was testing the strength trying to ply it off or something! who knows! What is the most common way for attachments to come off? Was worse than I expected having it put back on. forgot about all the tools involved ...

Just a short and sweet update...
At some point I have lost an attachment - no idea where or when but noticed yesterday lunchtime something felt different and checked with my brace and one had gone walk about!
Anyway got an appointment for Friday to get that sorted.
Just put my third set of aligners in also, had a little bit of difficulty with the bottom one, didn't seem to be fitting over my attachment right but took it out and tried again and it was fine. So far no pain again! ...

hi all,
I managed to loose my bottom aligner this weekend. Got to work on Saturday morning and took my brace out for a cuppa and put them loose in my pocket - Duh! somewhere in that few minute I managed to loose my bottom set. Unfortunately I was also sleeping in so that left me without a brace from the Sat morning til the Sunday night. After a weekend of stress and hunting I managed to find it on the Sunday afternoon in the snow where it must have fallen out my pocket - relief!!! ...

For some reason my aligners are really annoying me today, I've had this set in a week tonight. They're not so much painful as just annoying, like a really dull Ache, or the kinda sensation you get after someone runs their nails down a blackboard!
I've been pretty good at keeping them in since I've got back off hols with this set so my teeth shouldn't have moved back and they've loosened off lots since I've had them in but I am struggling. I took some pain killers and took them out to have ...
