hi everyone
so I'm starting an invisalign blog about my experience with it. I know there are already so many of them out there so I don't really expect any one to read mine I'm more so doing it for mown enjoyment.

so I'll start by telling u a little bit about myself. tomorrow I'll be 15. I'll be a sophomore in highschool. I play soccer and am in the drama club (weird combination I know). and I hate my teeth! so I just started invisalign on Monday aug. 28.

what's wrong with my teeth? well my top teeth have alot of spacing, I have a slightly crooked tooth on the bottom,a deep bite, and according to my orthodontist not all by bottom and top teeth line up correctly.

my invisalign treatment.

I'm starting off with ten attachment and 18 trays. at first I was annoyed about the numbers but I keep reminding myself of the people who have Attackmenta on all of their teeth and 40 trays.

after the ortho took what seemed like endless impressions and pictures he sent it all out to the in invisalign people and the trays actually came in in only two weeks! I was to excited to start!

after the ortho put on the attachments (which was alot easier than I expected) he had me practice putting on and taking off the trays. this is where the fun started. I spend at least twenty minutes infront of a mirror in the hallway trying to pull the trays off my teeth with the nurse barking orders at me and refusing to help. eventually two of the doctor came over to calm me sown cause I was getting so frusterated. I eventually get them off but knocked over a glass of water in the process. I felt pathetic! after that he let me go. I think he was afraid to have me try again. he gave me the first 9 trays told me to keep each in for 18 to 21 daya instead of the usual 2 weeks and come back in 6 weeks. so off I went.

by time I got home my tongue and inner lip was killing me because there was a few rough pieces on the aligners. and to top it off my family was now making fun of me cause I now have a lisp.


I'm going on day three of my first aligner and it's gotten better! it's not as tight I'm starting to be able to take the trays on and off more easily and u can understand me when I talk now . my tongue and lips still rub against the aligners though I'll probably try dental wax cause I'm too afraid to do anything to the actual aligner.

I think that's it for now.
if anyone actually reads this and has questions or anything don't be afraid to ask. I'll try answering whatever I can 
