Aligner set #2

Hey everyone!!
Last night I changed my aligners for the first time - I am seriously glad as my number 1 ones were waaaay past their use-by date, so munted and yucky! I made sure I ate heaps, anticipating that I may notb  able to get them off for breakfast. Yummy beef cassarole for dinner and banana choc chip cake and jellytip icecream for pudding, mmmmmmmm :)

Anyway, I brushed and flossed and rinsed and jammed them in, holy cow, they felt great! All new and smooth and a bit squeaky and I could REALLY feel the pull on my teeth. So I went to bed and woke up with a wet pillow - DRIBBLED AGAIN!!! yuck.

This morning I took painkillers and then half an hour later decided to take them out for breakfast - and it was super easy! I guess I know how things work better now! My teeth arent sore like what I talk about in my posts from my first set of aligners, rather, they feel like they are being pushed up into my gums???? But it's a good, productive feeling in any case, because I know they are doing their thang!!!

Ok and I have a naughty confession to make to you all - if I want an energy drink or I'm having some wines or whatnot - as long as the liquid is clear or close to clear - I dont talk my aligners out. After every glass I rinse my mouth really REALLY thoroughly with water and when I'm home I have a big frantic "righting my wrongs" scrub, floss and rinse.

Just another funny point: if you are going to get invisalign, stock up on toothbrushes!!! I worked out that I use my home toothbrush 4x a day. That means, in a week, I will have used that toothbrush 28 times. Thats the same amount as some people do in a month! So every week or two weeks, maybe one and half, I have to change my toothbrush because it gets soooo frayed and flogged out!! Like I've been using it for 6 months, it's crazy!!!!!

That's all folks, tune in next time for some more Invisalign fun! P.S. KAT IF YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE DRINKING TONIGHT, TEXT ME!!! WE FEEL LIKE BEING SOCIABLE FOR A CHANGE.
