• Posted to Age 26 - Started out Rough... Getting Better on 11 Apr 2010

  I too have had the uncomfortable sight of brushing my teeth in the restroom at work. It does get easier as you go. I am on tray 19 of 24 and have seen some movement. I have a couple of teeth on the bottom that are being stubborn, but my dentist is keeping track of these. I didn't get my buttons until my third tray. My dentist didn't do them because they wanted me to get used to them before attachments. I do occasionally take them out for the day or evening. Like around Thanksgiving and Christmas I did this. I sometimes will wear the trays a day or two longer than the two weeks. This is easy to do when the time between appointments is exactly the four or six weeks my dentist chooses. I wish you the best of luck with your invisalign. I doubted my decision the week I got them, but I have adjusted to them and now it feels weird not to have them in.

  I am half way through my invisalign. When I first started out, it was painful at first and I had some tenderness in my mouth, where the trays would rub and me not being used to them. This went away for me. Every once in a while a new tray will hurt for a little bit, but I usually take an ibuprofen. It also helps to change trays before going to bed.
