Day 11

October 31.. Set 2 Wooo I tore the tray this morning getting it out .. not much.. but enough to make it feel uncomfortable in my mouth .. so I made a decision to change to set 2. It's only a couple of days early so it shouldn't make too much difference. I have read that the 1st 2 - 4 days of each new tray your teeth are moving and the rest of the time of the 2 wks it's holding them in place, waiting for the bone to strengthen, not too sure how correct that is, but will discuss it with my Ortho at my next visit.
The trays are so much tighter and I still haven't had pain as such but with the discomfort I needed to take a couple of Panadol ortho .. they are a bit stronger and worked well.
I also have experienced a painful mouth ulcer at the frenulum area where the tray is rubbing. Using SM33 is helping heaps. Filed it down a little on the edges and that eased the pressure there.
I am going to have a go at posting some pic's of my teeth in the next few days .. not too sure how I will go as I am new to this blogging.
Cleaning them .. I have found a small children's toothbrush and toothpaste works well. I also am using Polident denture tabs (mint ones) every couple of days .. this is working well with no visible change in the clearness of the Invisalign tray.
My dental hygiene is the best its ever been and I brush floss and rinse with mouthwash after every meal .. my teeth feel clean as!
I will most likely lose weight as I am skipping my normal snacks.. too much trouble to take the trays out an extra time .. plus I dont want to lose precious minutes when my teeth could be that much straighter at the end!
