For my first Invisalign Review I don’t really notice a whole lot of change but that’s normal. This was the first Invisalign retainer out of the 26 that I’m supposed to have.
What I’ve learned in the first two weeks of Invisalign

At first I was really stressed out… “Is this noticeable?”, “Can people see my Invisalign attachments?”, “Will this pain/pressure ever go away?”, “Will this lisp ever go away?”, “1 year of this?!”. These were all thoughts running through my mind right after I left the dentist’s office.

Invisalign is not noticeable

Atleast in my situation. I had one person ask me what was on my teeth in 2 weeks. That’s pretty good.

People can’t even see my Invisalign buttons or attachments

I showed my coworkers my teeth and no one admitted to seeing my attachments. My dentist did a great job of blending them with the color of my teeth. This was the part that I thought that I would be the most self-concious about however the attachments aren’t bad.

The Invisalign pressure goes away!

In my Invisalign Review, I noticed that within about 3 or 4 days the pressure from the Invisalign retainer totally subsided. You’re teeth will move, then the Invisalign retainer will hold them in place. By the end of your second week, they will be really loose and super easy to get off.

The truth about the Invisalign lisp

The lisp goes about 90% away. I still feel like I talk with a minor lisp. This might just be me. I kinda feel like I talk like that anyway.

My first Invisalign Review is not bad at all!!

It’s been going great and it’s only the beginning of week 3. I will definitely keep you posted so keep checking updates on my Invisalign Review.

I just put my second Invisalign retainer is in!

I feel a little pressure but its not that bad. The pressure is the worst part of my Invisalign Review this week. Not nearly as bad as the first day of the first retainer. I also have adapted to pulling them out and puting them in easily.

Here’s a tip!

Most people put their new Invisalign retainers in in the morning so you immediately feel that pain and pressure. Why not put the new

At first, cleaning my Invisalign retainers seemed a bit intimidating.

Before I even get the Invisalign tray and start my Invisalign Review my dentist started lecturing me on cleaning my trays. My dentist said to get those fizzy tablets that old people put their dentures in and clean them like that. Another person in his office that had the procedure done told me to let them sit in listerine and brush them. I wasn’t sure what to do… And we’ve all heard the horror stores of how nasty they get (the smells, the colors, etc.)

I hate mint (I’ve had to use cinammon and lemon toothpaste)

A little FYI – Mint has made me sick throughout my entire life. Just the thought of it makes me gag to the greatest extent. So listerine and anything like that I feel would make me gag alot. However (on a weird note), I love mint ice cream.

So without spending a ton of money on listerine and other denture washes. Ive come down with a system that Ive placed in my Invisalign Review.

“The System” to cleaning the Invisalign retainers

When you take your Invisalign retainers out throughout the day to eat, or for whatever reason… Put them in a cup of warm water and let them soak for 5-20 minutes (depending on how long it takes to eat). If you lightly brush them before you put them back in, most of the gunk comes off. Then before bed and the last time of the day that you brush your teeth, just brush them with tooth paste and water. That’s it! It seems like my system is working so far but I guess I’ll see next dentist appointment in November. Fingers crossed… My Invisalign Review for cleaning my trays wasn’t so bad afterall.
