Invisalign Review – I’ve Been Bad

Yesterday was my first Invisalign Review blog post back in a long time and It’s very good to be back. However I got to fill you in on something that I probably shouldnt be telling you or my dentist. I’ve been kind of bad or lazy with some of the cleaning of my Invisalign Retainers sometimes.

Lazy With Cleanings

Yes its true, I have been very lazy with the cleaning of my Invisalign Retainers lately and It’s been so bad that I didn’t even want to put this into my Invisalign Review. I know your probably thinking… oh no, this could be bad. Well it hasn’t really got bad yet and maybe it isnt that bad. The problem is, I’ve just been so busy. I’ve been sick of carrying my messy tooth brush around with me, sick of carrying my dental floss around with me, having to head home after ever time I snack or eat so lazy that sometimes I just swish some water around in my mouth, call it good and then put them back in for a little while until I can get home to brush.

I know it’s bad, Im just sick of all the maintenance. I still am managing to brush and flosh a alot though and will continue while doing my Invisalign Review, however it’s gotten to the point where I’m kind of getting tired of it. I know I’m almost hlf way done with my Invisalign Review and it has flown by so fast, however I must keep up with the work on my teeth and keep up with the cleanings or I might get cavities.

I’ve Been Busy

I think also a big part of why I havent been cleaning and why I havent kept up with my Invisalign Review is just because Ive been extremely busy lately and don’t know when it will calm down for me. Hopefully things calm down kind of soon because I’m getting pretty tired of working so hard on some work projects and have some family things going on. Hopefully things will get better but right now cleaning isn’t as big of an issue to me as keeping up with checking in with you guys on my Invisalign Blog or Invisalign Review. This invisalign blog sometimes can be the only thing that keeps me going with this invisalign review process although it’s not that bad, It just gets old sometimes.

My Invisalign Review still is going well and I still will continue to keep you post with my Invisalign Blog. Please keep checking back with my Invisalign Review as I’m going to be updating quite frequently. I really hope you enjoy my Invisalign Blog and hope that this will definitely help you to see if Invisalign is something for you.

Invisalign Review – I’m Back!!!

My Invisalign Review continues! Sorry for the delay everyone who has been following me. I’ve been extremely busy with working a few different jobs, family issues and a few others things going on. Also my dentist had to have the Invisalign people send for more trays at tray number ten. A lot has changed and my Invisalign Review progress is still going! Ok I’ll fill you in…

The picture above was taken right after my tenth Invisalign tray was done. I really feel like my teeth are changing! Its funny because a lot of the people who are around me a lot (friends, family, etc.) keep telling me that they definitely see a change in the look of my teeth. They say that my K9’s are starting to rotate in the right direction and my teeth that were pushed back are starting to come out more and become more aligned. Can you see a difference at all? When I look at the pictures I gotta be honest, I really don’t see that much of a change at all. I know my teeth are moving though because my bight is definitely changed a bit. It just feels different.

Waiting For Four Weeks With My Tenth Invisalign Tray

Yeah, for my Invisalign Review and treatment process, I had to hold on to the tenth tray for four weeks which I wasn’t too happy about but I realize that everything can’t follow are super disciplined schedule. The reason why I had to wait so long was for a few reasons. First, I couldn’t get an appointment with the dentist as soon as I would’ve liked because he was super busy and I couldn’t coordinate an open date due to work and trips. Second, Once I finally got into see my dentist, he had to “remold” or just approve my teeth so that I could continue with my Invisalign Review and the treatment process. My dentist told me that after tray number ten, we would have to re evaluate and see if Invisalign is working for me. The nice part was that he actually didn’t have to do molds of my teeth and “prove” it to the Invisalign people. All he had to do was to look and see if my teeth were moving, which they were, and if they were moving properly. After a short look, he told me that “everything looked great” and that we were ready to move on with another set of trays and the rest of my process.

So Things are definitely going well. I had a cleaning in late December and no cavities or no problems. Invisalign was actually making it easier to clean my teeth because it was creating room and eliminating some of the hard to get to places. I also have been keeping up with my basic cleaning. I still manage to snack a decent amount and I have gotten a little bit lazy with having to brush after every time I put food or a drink into my mouth. I’ll go into more of that in the next few blog posts. Anyways, everything is going great with my Invisalign Review! I’m almost half done too!!!

Invisalign Review – Retainer 7/26

Times flying by..

It seems like it was only yesterday when I had received my first set of Invisalign Retainers/Aligners. Now I’m almost 1/3 of the way done and going strong! I’ve definitely found my comfort zone with Invisalign that’s for sure. Lately I’ve been good but seem to slack about 30 minutes after eating meals, going out and if I’m around someone who I don’t want to notice, I’ll take my retainers out.

As of my last checkup, everything is going great!

People are actually starting to ask me or tell me: “Hey, you’re teeth look better, what are you doing to them”. It’s a good feeling icon smile Invisalign Review Retainer 7/26 Only so far into the process and I already have something to show for it. I’m definitely happy about it and my Invisalign Review is positive thus far. I’m also definitely glad I went through with it. Most of all I really can’t wait until that day in September 9 months from now when I’m all done! Good times are coming!

No complaints this last tray

Everything went well. Brushed good, flossed good. Was very thorough with both. I guess I’ll find out how well I did at my next appointment… January 12th 2012.

Can you tell that my teeth have changed at all? Keep checking back for more updates from my Invisalign Review on my Invisalign Blog
