Hey everyone! Thank you for watching this video. I am pleased to say that I have finally uploaded my halfway Invisalign check in! Here is the link: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1bB8y4mMsmqjl2U Apologies for the delay in uploading this. It was recorded earlier this year, but all my free time outside work was spent planning our wedding. I am currently on my first set of refinements, so there be more videos to come. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below. Thanks! :)

I recently began using aligners for my teeth, and the initial experience was a bit challenging. The discomfort was noticeable when I took them out to eat on the first day, and putting them back in afterward felt like my teeth had taken a punch. However, as the days progressed, it became more manageable as my teeth adjusted to the trays. I'm hoping the second tray next week won't be as painful. I've heard it's advisable to insert the new tray at night, which makes sense since you won't be taking it out for another 8 hours to eat. I initially took out my first tray after the 3 hours it was applied at the dentist, which resulted in a lot of pain all around..

I am now on day 2.5 of Invisalign. Like you, I have had fixed braces before (as a teenager) but my teeth have become crowded and not well aligned. Therefore at 40, I am doing invisalign and dealing with trays etc. The first day was the worst for me, taking the trays out (particularly the lower set) has been a nightmare. Quite painful. I just hope that I do not have to go through this level of discomfort with every new tray. My course of treatment is really rapid compared to yours. Supposed to be 3.5 months.

Hi! I just started last Monday, so I'm right there with you! I was living on Tylenol the first few days, but what I found worked the best and I was able to cut out the Tylenol was putting orajel max (4x strength) in my aligners before I reinsert them because that was the most painful part at first. It felt like someone was snapping a rubberband across my teeth! Never really felt that but that's what I imagine😂 it was cheapest on Amazon. They've been pretty painless as of Sunday, but I just got a few attachments replaced today and she was just pulling the aligners out so I used the orajel when we were done and it worked great as always!

Day two with the brackets and the aligners, and I spent five minutes trying to get them off the first time. Had to KZitem in order to figure out best ways to pull the Invisalign out. I purchased a tool on Amazon to see if that will help. I do have fingernails, but still really hard to pop it off. Apparently you’re supposed to go on the inside back molar to pop it off gently but they are still really tight and hard to come off. I’m hoping the tool will help. My Dentist told me if you need to drink coffee with your aligners sit with a straw probably the same with Tea.

Are you timing how long your invisiligners are out? That is a great idea. I'm on day 4 and I've just been winging it so far. Question--how do you deal with cooking? Specifically tasting the food as you're cooking. Do you just taste it knowing that you are going to be taking the aligners out soon? Or do you take your aligners out for tasting too?
@ElainePower

I timed mine at the start so I could get an idea of how long they were out. I stopped doing that after a few months though. Cooking was tricky. Sometimes I would taste food with them in (nothing that would stain though) or I’d cook away and then taste towards the end when I planned to take my trays out to eat anyway. Hope you’re getting on well with yours.

My only regret is neglecting my teeth so much throughout my life that it had to come down to getting Invisalign to correct the damage. If my smile looks as good as the end result photos show, this journey will have well been worth it. Blessings to you and I hope your Invisalign journey will be a good one.

Im two weeks in and it’s fine. I only eat dinner ,too busy at work to mess with all that goes with the Invisalign. I never had breakfast before so it’s easy. Good way to lose weight 3.5 kg already , I’ll have to watch that but not too concerned yet.

@ElainePower both does hurt but I think the metals hurt worse. We have to change our trays every 10 days but the pain only last a day or two. Where as metal ones it lasted about a week. The metals was very hard to clean. Where as the trays is high maintenance but we can floss eat what ever we want. It's also good to lose weight. I want apple juice or something take the trays off drink or eat a snack, floss, brush teeth clean trays pup them back in. Is it worth it? I drink more water than ever

I just got mine yesterday and they didn't give me that manual, didn't give me chewies, didn't give me a tool. Instead of chewies they gave me a handful of those white tubes they use to suck saliva when doing the install and told me to chew on them...This place is supposed to be a "diamond" invisalign installer but I'm feeling like they kind of left me in the dark with some stuff. Fortunately I only have 20 trays and change them once a week before getting my retainers. The worst part for me so far has been eating because the attachments on my teeth feel like my teeth are always covered in food, and brushing the back rear teeth is very sensitive.

I’ve had to get a couple attachments filed down slightly by orthodontist already cuz they were so hard to get out, I thought my teeth were breaking and in fact my back molar did break on day 3. I’ve had a headache or migraine for 5 of 7 days , and I’m only eating 1-2 times a day max. I’m still struggling to get them out and I’m due to change trays already. Tender to eat, tongue got cut up, I have a lisp. I regret everything at this point. I only pray it does get better
