Time between each tray
I am a new invisalign user (2 weeks) and I am ready for my 2nd tray tomorrow. I did not ask the dentist this but is it always 2 weeks between each tray? My first 2 weeks have been typical of all the other posters on this board although I really did not have any pain with them. I did feel some slight pressure for a couple of days and then it went away.
My main problem is talking with them, it is getting better but still not where it should be. I have been averaging about 21 hours a day with them in. What are other people using to clean them with? I tried the toothbrush and toothpaste but they still get pretty bad after 6 hours or so in your mouth. |

I just brush them, sometimes I'll soak 'em in Listerine in the morning, if I have a few extra minutes, but I just brush 'em. Of course, I eat 3 meals a day, so the only time they are in for that long is overnight, so it's not too bad. |

Thanks, X. Looks like a great tool. I'm on my retainers now, so I don't get a new/fresh tray every two weeks. These retainers can get nasty, and it's tough to get into the tight spaces (I use my 6-year-old son's Batman brush because it's nice and small. I just hope he hasn't done anything unusual with it). Looks like this Interspace brush does the trick. |

Im on my 7th tray and everything is going good. My dentist is making me wear mine for 3 weeks at a time. They only hurt after they get changed, but I usually change them at night. I soak mine in listerine too, or sometimes peroxide if I dont have any listerine and then use my toothbrush to wash them...it hasnt damaged them or anything and mine get really clean. I can talk pretty good with them in too, but I do lisp certain letters, like F & S, or rhyming letters/words, so I have to repeat sometimes, but most of the time, my speech is pretty good. I can tell my teeth have changed, Im def biting differently. So far its been good
