Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

End of Week 2
I am at the end of week two for my invisalign. I have anxiety thinking about chaning my tray on Thursday and tryign to time it just right. I changed my work schedule to accomodate this change! Ugh!
I am clenching and grinding my teeth A LOT! I keep wondering if its because the trays feel loser and more gel-like rather than stiff and hard. I find myself doing it all night in my sleep and sitting at my desk typing away at work! It is irratating bc I have TMJ to begin with and it is making it worse.
Decided to call and ask ortho if I could change tray early, i was getting impatient, they said no, if anythign, ONE day early. I said Ill just wait. I keep reading reviews that YOUR TEETH CAN FALL OUT!
So ill be waitign until this Thursday March 5, 2015!

Week One Done.
I am officially done with week one. I wanted to write abotu the thinsg I noticed.
The invisalign diet is still active! I have noticably lost weight and my jeans are to big.. I must partially blame it on having MONO though this past week. But, either way, I hate taking out the trays to eat. it is such a process. Then you have to brush, clean tray, and put 'em back in. I'm not lazy by any means and I always carried a toothbrush regardless but itsa mixture of that and my teeth hurting. But MUCH lESS than the first 3 days which were almost unbearbale.
My trays are looser too. And I do not notice them much. Except for the lisp. I am going to call orthodontist today to see if I can switch tray today before the week begins and I have work Monday. I'll have to update what happens. But I think I am definitly ready to switch trays.

Day Three.
I am on day 3 but only at 48 hours.
I hate my lisp. It is annoying but it is getting better. One exception. My tongue is so swollen. its prob 2-3xs the size it was 3 days ago before I started. My teeth feel fine in the trays. There is discomfort and pain but its better and more manageable in the trays. When I take them out, it hurts. It feels like I have broken, brittle and weak teeth. I could not bite into an apple, for instance, I would probably cry. My bottom tray, on the inside of mouth, is what is causing my tongie to hurt, get ulcers on it and get swollen. The ridge is rough and when I talk my tongue rubs aginst it.
I reallly havent eaten much at all. Day One: Water (all day) and soud. Day two: Soup, mashed potatoes and a banana. Then I went out for a bday party at a bar, had a few alcoholic clear drinks w invisaalign in. I drank from a straw so it went in back of mouth. I think they fear is will discolor so I went w colorless drink. I was fine. I drank and swished water in between.
I was also writing back in comments that I seen ppl write kiss your love life goodbye. Then get yourself a better man bc that is not the case at all. The guy Im dating doesnt even notice, it doesnt bother him or I and in fact, I am NOT thinking about invisalign when I am kissing him. LOL
I also have been clenching my jaw. Have you been doing this? Just hard getting use to the plastic in my mouth I guess.
Also, at first I was obsessed with 'suck the air' out of retainer, which, in turn, made my tongue hurt and thats prob the reason why it is so swollen. I havent done that at all today though, no urge. LOL.
