Braces Review

Jessica contacted me and asked me to join bracesreview.com Basically, It's a website that invites a lot of users (and potential users) of different types of braces, so you can find a lot of information on the site and ask questions so that more experienced dental patients/professional can help you! I think it's a really good idea! :D So if anyone has any questions on Invisalign, you can either ask me or post a question on the website and you'd get loads of other Invisalign users giving their own advices/opinions (and mine as well!).

3rd Set of Invisalign Aligners

Today is my first day wearing the 3rd set of aligners.  The pain, WHAT PAIN?!, that's right, the 3rd set of aligners are nothing in comparison to the 2nd set in terms of pain.  There was no pain at all, just felt the trays were a bit tighter before.  After a few hours, the trays feel similar to the previous set, but maybe it's just slightly more difficult to take off.

Just comparing the 1st set and 3rd set.  Can you tell any differences? I certainly can spot a few. For my upper teeth, I can see the tooth on the left of my front teeth is more in line with the rest of teeth.  And as for the bottom teeth, the crowding doesn't look as bad. :) So my teeth are DEFINITELY moving! Now I really want to see what the last set of aligners would look like!  I am still lisping a bit though... I reckon it's the way I talk- I don't move my mouth enough so the situation is now worsen by the fact that I have plastic objects in my mouth!
