Metal hooks + Honeydew Elastics
Haha, so my rubber band flew OUT of my mouth. Yes, you didn't read wrongly. It snapped off and shoot out of my mouth. I was so shocked and annoyed with it, so i decided to drop my orthodontist a text to ask if he can do something about it, be it changing my elastics to a thinner one but same intensity or giving me a new buttons with a bigger loop? He wants to do a check first before finding a solution to my problem, so I drop by at noon for a check~
Thus he changed my plastic buttons to metal ones which is stronger but tinier which is harder to hook. I was then given Honeydew with elastic placer to hook the bands. Woohoo, so far so good!!
My next appt will be in end Jan!

Elastic II
I was upgraded to a 10-days cycle by my orthodontist, given watermelon elastics. Ah, I hated it so much. Apparently, the watermelon's ring size was bigger than the orange one that I previously wore, but the intensity was much harder. It was classified as extra heavy. It snaps off a couple of times in my mouth, not sure if I open my mouth too widely / the rubber band is too thick for the hooks on my teeth. Called the clinic to enquire and she said probably the packets that I owed have defects. If I am free, I should drop by to take an additional pack. Ohwell, shall open my other packets I have and KIV.
Good new! Passed the halfway mark, 22/40 trays. 18 to go! 180 days!!

Scuba Diving with Invisalign
OMG I went scuba diving with my trays on! Initially, I was afraid that it might affect my dive so I asked my instructor if I am allowed to wear it during discover dive while securing my regulator (oxygen tank) So he said if I am comfortable, he is okay with me having it on!!! Woohoo, I have to admit that I feel more secure wearing my aligners... ????
Moving on to the experience during the dive, I felt that my saliva will be kinda stuck? Or the air bubbles will be trapped like in the trays and behind my teeth, in my mouth. Perhaps is due to the water pressure oops...?
Overall, its a good experience!!
You wont know until you tryyy!!!
