I'm kind of used to the whole Invisalign thing so not much changes with the new trays. Pain isn't as strong as it was in the first couple of trays but I'm sure that will change and I'll start feeling the pain again. I'm a week into #4, I have 22 left for the top and 25 left on the bottom. I should be done my treatment in a year. :)
I used to remove my aligners with my hands but ever since I got the attachments put on that's become impossible. It took me a good 30 minutes before I finally found a method that worked when taking them out. I tried a toothpick, spoon, knife.... the list goes on. At one point I wanted to use plyers. I ended up searching the internet to find ways to remove stuck aligners and the only one that worked was paper towels. I've become lazy when it comes to taking them out to eat so I've found foods that I can eat and still keep the Invisalign in. You are not supposed to keep them in when you eat and I rarely do... only sometimes and I stick to soft food. I've gone back to my infant roots. ;)
One more week until tray #5! I'm really blown away at how fast this process has been moving along. Hard to believe it's almost been 2 months since I started my treatment. My next blog will either be when I'm back from vacation or if I have time to fit one in when I'm away I'll do that. It will be super interesting to see how I do when I'm away. I tend to eat and drink more when I'm on vacation so I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of removing!
Stay tuned....
