Day 4

I've had my Invisaligns for 4 days now, My lips are very dry and quite swollen, i've had a few comments about wearing lipstick because my lips are so red! My advice for any people new to invisalign is to drink lots of water and use a good lip moisturiser, a very good one is "Lucas' Papaw Ointment" It works a treat as my lips are not so dry and swollen anymore. Panadols also help as the once tingly feel in my lips has finally disappeared. My mouth is a bit dry but the water helps that!!!

I'll add some photos soon

Day 1 Experience

The first day of invisalign was surprisingly the easiest so far. I went into the ortho expecting the worst, probably from reading other peoples invisalign experiences, but it wasn't that bad. I got the little file thing in between my teeth making it easier for my teeth to move, i thought this would hurt but it infact only made a noise, you can't really feel it at all. Then he put the invisalign trays in my mouth, A lady gave me everything i needed and taught me the basics. Straight away i had no lisp whatsoever and can't imagine why you could possibly have one, lol. I have got a habit of trying to flick the backs with my teeth, but it started to hurt my tounge if i do that, so i've pretty much stopped. After the appointment i went to see my gran, she didn't even notice, infact people have not noticed anything except a slight shinyness to my teeth. The first day was pretty good, i didnt have any pain, and not really any tightness at all. The one thing i was slightly worried about was that they seemed to fit perfectly already, although the bottoms snap so they must be a bit different!
