Back again, thought I'd give an update on how I have settled in to my new Invisalign life!

Well in three days it will be time to change to tray 2! Very exciting, I even briefly thought I'd pop them in tonight just to check them out as I cannot see any difference between tray 1 and 2 but then thought that that would mean I would have to have tray 2 in for 2 weeks and 3 days so changed my mind. I can wait!!

So all pressure has gone and I even sometimes forget that I am even wearing them and have to run my tongue along my teeth to double check. My teeth feel a little bit of pressure for about 10 mins when I put the tray back in after a meal but thats about it. I think I can see a slight gap between two of my teeth and for me with major crowding of my teeth this is kind of awesome to have happen and notice that when I floss where before it was a wrestling match to get the floss inbetween the teeth its now a breeze.

As for the cleaning regime...well it got real boring real quickly! I have now altered my routine a little bit so I dont feel like I am constantly at the sink brushing and flossing. So now I soak them in a solution of 50/50 white vinegar and water in the morning while I have breakfast and then I just brush both my teeth and the trays and pop them back in. At lunch I just brush and thats it and then at night I do the whole thing with floss, brush and rinse. Seems to work for me. Oh and I have noticed that the trays are starting to look a little bit cloudy and a bit rough when I run my tongue along them. So lucky its time to change soon!

As for the eating thing? The first week I did lose 1 kilo but I felt like I was missing out so now I am tending to eat as much as I can while they are out just so I can fill up until the next meal! Which is not good! Im turning into a pig! Not a good thing as I was hoping for a new body to go with my new smile!

Here's to Thursday!
