Tray 3- new tray, new pain

Phew! I just put tray 3 in and my teeth are killing me!

I took 3 Ibuprofen while eating lunch, so maybe that'll take the edge off. I know that's not the recommended dose, but jeepers it's painful.

I can definitely tell this tray will be moving my lateral incisors and canines because it's super tight there. Other than that, nothing to report.

I'm getting better at lipstick, I've found that matte lipstick is much better than anything glossy.

I'm still enjoying the process and the pain is bittersweet. Pain means movement and movement is good!

Tray 2 Day 1

Phew, my teeth feel tight today! Just got tray 2 started. It isn't necessarily PAINFUL, but it definitely feels tight. I don't really want to talk much because my jaw just feels tired and a little weak. I

was telling my coworker that my mouth was a little sensitive and she commented, "oh you got your invisalign!" And it felt good because I've had them for two weeks and have definitely talked to her relatively close up multiple times in those two weeks and she didn't notice! Good stuff!

Any ladies on here that wear lipstick? I try to most days, but lately it's been a bit tedious. Any recommendations on some very matte, smudge-proof lipstick? Thanks in advance!

Looking good! The best advice is to change at night before bed as they adjust while you sleep!

Well, this is what I would do, but I just have one little problem. The way my payments are set up, I get one set at a time and pay for them when I pick them up. It sounds inconvenien, but the office is literally 1 minute away from my apartment and it's really the only way I could afford the payments. So my appointment is in the morning before work. I stop by and see the dentist for a moment and he makes sure I'm progressing as I should, then they put the new trays in to make sure they fit properly and I leave.

I guess I could just put the old trays back in until that night, but I'd rather get a headstart on the new set. Ugh, decisions.

I work at a winery so we have snacks and graze throughout the day, but no more. I just take about 20 minutes and scarf down food and do my hygiene thing. We make it work though!

I'm getting into a routine, but tonight I'm actually staying the night with friends tonight, so we'll see how that goes! Going to try my best to follow my rules, but I think I will splurge and drink some white wine through a straw... Wish me luck!

LOL. How did the wine through a straw work out for you?

It went pretty well! No staining or anything like that! I made sure to take out my trays and clean them really well after (my teeth too, of course!) so I wouldn't risk any cavities.
