HI, So Just finishing 7/16U & 7/19L .. I've changed my status to worth it, cos finally i've statred seeing alot of change with my Front teeth. I know that i've along way to go but still tto he difference is kinda amazing. I feel like i'm grinding alot with them in, especially the first 4/5 days of a New Tray. I still have had no one mentioning that I have braces, I reckon I've probably drawn peoples attention more.. Looking forward to putting in Tray number 8 tomorrow nite.. All kinda routine at this stage.. Talk soon

So From 3 to now on Tray 5 of 16U & 19L..
It's all kinda fallen into a routine.. In my Tray take out my Tray.. Eat, Floss wash my teeth, wash my Tray put it back in my mouth and repeat that about 7 times a day.. Pretty mundane, boring slightly annoying but now routine.
Can't really see any difference, but can feel when I floss my teeth have definitely got more spacing. Not sure if it is all gonna work out but I gotta have faith I supose. I'm back in to my dentist next week for a free clean and my next 3 Trays..
No one has mentioned that they notice them at all, but think I am still a little self conscious of them. Anyway, will post again in a few weeks.. Keep smiling :)

So.. I'm onto set No.2 .. Didn't mind too much the first Trays, A little discomfort but overall found the process very easy. It's gonna take a bit of getting used to eating out as, you have to floss and wash your teeth straight away after, I'm getting some funny looks in the mens room, as most of the guys don't even wash their hands (gross I know) after never mind floss and wash there teeth. Really the only thing that bugged me was I got a very sore throat and then I got a nasty Cold, I haven't been Sick for ages and yes it could be a coincidence but 3 days in to Tray 2 and my Sore throat has come back with a vengeance.. Anyone else get Sore Throats with invisalign? Hoping that it's not gonna happen everytime I start New Trays. Anyway that's it for now.. Laters..

When Im out, I try and use the disabled toilets (if there is no actual disabled people around) as you have the whole cubicle to yourself.. including a sink.. and you can brush to your hearts content, without looking over your shoulder hoping no one walks in and thinks your a tooth brushing freak. Also, Ive had no sore throat ever, you prob have a coincidental cold...

Hi Pamexx.. Think I seem to get a sore throat for the first 3/4 days of each tray. I've only had 2 trays so far so will wait to find out if it hapens again, if it does i'll seak to my Dentist. Anyway a small price to pay I suppose for my Beautieness :)

I'm not an expert but check with your orthodontist, when I did my research on Invisalign I saw other comments about sore throats and for some patients they were having an allergic reaction to their trays. Again, this may not be your situation but you should call your provider. I'm 4 months in and have not had any reaction. The comments I read about having an "allergic" reaction, they seemed to be fine when they had their trays replaced. Good luck!!!

It really starts to go fast week to week.......although, I have a whole year left (gasp)....I try not to think about that, but I agree, so far it is worth the price of beauty!! Can't wait to smile brighter in pictures. Hang in there and keep an eye on the sore throats....

Hi Fine Whine,
I started my third tray today and every time I start a new one it is still so difficult to remove the bottoms. I didn't get sore throats, but lots of sores in my mouth and redness around my mouth. At first I had to use examination gloves to remove them, and still do when I first start a new set, so I can remove them without breaking my nails and it's just easier to grip them. I also dislike going into the restrooms at restaurants and brushing my teeth, etc. in front of people. Today I was in a place that had only one restroom for everyone so I was so nervous that I was taking too much time and someone would be waiting and waiting to use the facility.
I'm thin and don't want to loose weight, but I would recommend these to anyone who would like to loose weight, because it's such a pain in the neck to take them out to eat that they may not want to bother to eat as often.
Anyway, thanks for your comments.
Charlotte
