HALFWAY POINT! INVISALIGN – GOOD, BAD, BROWN SPOTS??

Halfway through my Invisalign Treatment.

I was a skeptic at first.  Could Invisalign really save my teeth?  I’ve always been super sensitive about my teeth.  Click here to watch my dental journey.

Underbite, gapped teeth, spacers, expander, braces – Could this magic invisible tray reproduce what all that metal shaped?

It probably took me to about the third tray until I started to be a believer.  I am now on tray 9 and 100% happy.  Highly recommend!

So what have I learned from my halfway through experience:

 

  • Personally for me, the trays don’t hurt my teeth.  My teeth sometimes feel pressure but really no pain.
  • I have a really busy morning.  I drink a smoothie off-and- on most of the morning.  Since doing that I am not able to wear my trays.  I also slack off some in the afternoons ( I know!  I’m slightly ashamed!). My teeth seem to still be moving correctly!  I do wear them every night.
  • Be careful using Crest toothpaste.  I started to have brown spots form on a few of my teeth.  They were small, but noticeable to me.  I asked the orthodontist about it, because I was wondering if it was due to Invisalign.  She said some Crest toothpaste irritates people’s teeth.  As soon as I switched to Colgate – Gone!  No more spots!
  • TIP -Write the date that you are suppose to switch your trays on each packet they give you.
  • TIP – Make reminders on your iPhone calendar when you are suppose to switch out your trays!  It makes it so much easier to remember. 
I hope me sharing my experience helps y’all who are considering Invisalign.  I am very pleased and impressed with the results.  And it’s only taken about 6 months.
