First Week of Treatment

Oh and I opted not to file my teeth--- I was not pressured to-- only told I may have a slight gap... We'll see. I don't need perfect teeth, just a nice looking smile. If there is a gap and it bothers me-- I can always see what my options are then to fix it. But i have a feeling-- since my teeth were near perfect in the past- with no gap-- after treatment i may not even have a gap. The orthodontist says he doesn't know if i will or not.

I have found that Listerine, brushing, and floss after each meal works well for me. My advice for anyone debating or starting ---Go to costco and pick up a ten pack of tooth brushes, floss, and mouth wash. I even don't notice the invisalign trays when my mind is on doing work or something else. Brushing, flossing, and mouth wash is 5 minutes three times a day-- big deal... I do not want cavities or bad breath problems. The fact you can take them out to eat and clean makes the trays a 1000 times better then traditional braces! It's not that wearing them is that annoying at all-- but taking them out does feel really good-- gives you and your teeth a quick break-- before resuming treatment. That is not an option with traditional braces.
