Re: First Post & Ready for Invisalign :)

Hey Fitang, congrats on going for it! Also a Kiwi but doing my Invisalign in London. Nearly finished, on my last Tray. 24U and 22L. Really pleased with the results and well worth it. Am going to need a few refinements, don't really need them as such an improvement already, but seeing as how its all ...

Yep, coffee, tea, beer, white wine, all goes in. (not at the same time though! ) I do let the hot drinks cool off quite a bit though. Always keep a glass of water handy for swishing around though just to help keep things clean. Never had any staining or discoloring issues. 1/2 way through now, big c...

Hi, I think thats pretty normal, a lot of mine do that, I will ask my dentist next time but everything is moving according to plan so far. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Hi Olivia, just thought I'd let you know that I thought about getting Invisalign for ages, finally just went for it and are now on tray 9. Wished I'd went for it before as I'd be finished by now! The only person to notice I've got them is my wife, I live my normal social life, travel and sports and ...

I think if you're getting invisalign and want straight teeth then having attachments are a small price to pay. I have them on my canines, I notice them but nobody else has. I have been wearing now for 10 weeks and overall its been very easy. I can see the changes are happening and can't believe I wi...

TIME WITH TRAYS IN

I'm onto week 8 now and are managing to keep my trays in for 22hrs a day Monday to Thursday and about 20hrs a day on Fridays and weekends. I feel if I am really strict for the first 4 days of the week I can have a bit of a reward and enjoy the food and drinks that weekends are all about. Still allow...

Hi, just had my attachments fitted, 5 lower, 4 upper, one on canine so quite obvious, but hopefully its only because I'm looking for it. It is quite white though and my teeth are not! Are going to wait till the end before whitening though - doesn't seem much point at the moment. No one has even noti...

Hi fellow newbie, I'm just into my second week of my first trays so just finding my way around this big change in lifestyle as well. I've been pretty good about keeping to the 22 hrs a day, seem to do 1/2 hr breakfast, 1/2 hr lunch and 1 hr dinner.. The time inbetween is a bit of a struggle but are ...

first trays in yesterday

Well my trays finally arrived yesterday and have done one whole day now. I was surprised when i arrived at dentist and needed 4 tooth reductions straight away. No turning back now. The trays were surprisingly small and they really are invisable. Very happy with that. My appointment was at 12.00noon ...

looking forward to getting started.
