Hi everyone, it’s Anna here with another update about my progress with Invisalign.
So far I’ve been finding tray two really comfortable and some days, I even forget that I’m wearing them. It’s hard to believe I started my Invisalign treatment nearly a month ago!
Occasionally I’ve had to stop myself when I’ve gone to make a hot drink because I’ve thought about taking a sip and then suddenly realised that my trays are in. It’s so easily done as they’re just really comfortable!
I’ve been wearing this second set for roughly 11 days now and whilst I haven’t noticed anything too different from last week, I have noticed that the overall alignment of my teeth is looking a little straighter. When I go to close my mouth for example, my top teeth seem to be more in line with the bottom set.
Let’s compare from before I started:
Before
During Tray 2
It’s probably quite difficult to tell any changes from the two pictures, but that is the kind of progress I am seeing so far.
Another thing I did notice on Wednesday this week was that when I went to take them off at lunch, that my jaw felt rather odd. I’ve had problems in the past with a clicking jaw, but this time it felt like my jaw was slightly at an angle and I wondered if the Invisalign had caused this or was repositioning the jaw in some way.
I have heard stories of Invisalign repositioning people’s jaw and this can happen due to the aligners not allowing teeth to touch, as teeth naturally guide the jaw into position. So perhaps this is what I was experiencing this week. If I notice any further signs of this, I will be sure to inform my dentist.
I’m so excited – next week I start on my third set of trays!
Until next time,
~ Anna
