Had my attachments done today and it's day one of tray one! Super excited to get through the next 27 trays. My tongue was sore by the end of today but my teeth aren't bad, just a pressure feeling rather than pain. Better than I expected.
I will update my journey regularly as I found reading others a great help

Hi there, did u remove one of your bottom middle teeth at sometime prior to invisalign for crowding reasons? Or were you born without it?

Hey, I haven’t had any removed for this treatment, just had the IPR to make room. When I was younger I had several teeth removed though, so maybe then? It was over 30 years ago so don’t quite remember to be honest

Day 1, tray 2
gordy00November 1, 2016
So my upper tray split after the first few days but the last couple of days, I think it was impacting the progress so I decided to change trays a couple of days earlier. I have minimal discomfort, I honestly expected more, just the tight feeling putting in the new tray but I was happy as it means the treatment is working!
Anyway, 1 tray down, another 28 to go lol

I am happy that you are happy with your trays! I wish I were. I am 65 so my process is not cosmetic. I have a lower tooth that either had to be returned to the fold or pulled. It is right in front so I didn't want it removed. Tray 5 for me and I just hate the things! Good Luck!

Spoke too soon
gordy00November 4, 2016
I think I spoke too soon, the trays still don't hurt but my tongue is quite raw and tender from rubbing against the trays all day, I thought it would toughen up by now. I have lots of people noticing that I have them and I think it's because of my lisp.
When I eat, an attachment on my bottom tooth hits my top tooth so I cannot chew my food properly and end up swallowing before the food is broken down. Fingers crossed this tooth is one of the first to move!
Way too early to see a change yet but it doesn't stop me looking in the mirror whenever I can lol

how is food chewing going? any tips?
I am starting my invisalign journey in a few days and I am pretty sure I am going to have attachments on my lower front teeth. combine that with a serious overbite and I am extremely nervous about how I am going to chew my food!

I'm so sorry, I just saw your message. I do struggle to chew food thoroughly and swallow unchewed food. I hope your journey is going well
Congratulations on getting started, and happy birthday! :D Can't wait to see your progress.
