I have learned some new tricks as I go along. Chewing gum for 10 minutes after eating and then flossing/brushing and putting the trays back in helps.
Putting a little bit of Listerine in the trays at lunch keeps them clean and from getting gross.
Soaking my trays in peroxide and water 4 nights a week, and denture cleaner 3 nights a week, while I eat dinner keeps them clean and from getting disgusting.
Taking advil/tylenol and Putting in a new tray before I go to bed minimizes the discomfort of a new tray.

Hi I live in Fairless Hills and I'm thinking about getting Invisalign. Who and where is your orthodontist?
I'm looking for one in my area.

I'm hoping TrcyDonnelly will reply to you so you know who they used, but if not you can click on the Find a Doctor tab near the top of the page and look for a provider in your area. You will be able to see their profile, read reviews written about them, and see the questions they have provided in the Q&A section. Hopefully that will give you a sense for if they are someone you would like to consider seeing for treatment.
Hope that is helpful! :)

I initially thought I'd end up wearing each tray for 3 weeks as my teeth are so crooked, but so far I'm barely making it to 2 weeks before they are loose and I have to change them out. I started tray 4 last night and they feel tight but they don't hurt at all. I am getting used to the ridges and I go back next week for the last set of ridges to be put on and I'll get more trays. I can see a subtle difference in my top teeth but nothing in the bottom yet.

Going Strong! I will have 14 trays on the bottom and 24 on the top. I am 2 days into tray 3 and the trays are nice and tight. I do have some minor sore spots but I can deal with that and I am used to the ridges now.
I am drinking a lot more water, snacking a lot less and I've lost 6 pounds so far. By the end of next year my goal is to have beautiful teeth and be at least 20 pounds thinner.
For anyone who is considering Invisalign, Get yourself a good orthodontist who lays everything out for you, accept that there will be minor agitation and go for it. For me so far it's well worth it.

Great tips on how to care for the trays on your last update! I'm sure many people will find that informatin helpful.
How are your teeth coming along? Seeing much change with the last set of trays?
