Starting off - Invisalign Day1

October the 21st .. The idea of keeping a diary is mainly for me so I keep record of how I progress and be able to note the changes, but if it helps anyone else I will be pleased.
It was a huge decision to go ahead as I am in my late 50's and wonder if I am doing the right thing, it's always been a dream of mine to have a beautiful smile with straight teeth, most people won't be honest and tell you that your teeth could look nicer, I have only had one person say this and I thank her as that was what helped to make my decision.
my journey. I have been given a treatment time of 20 months, 31 upper trays and 27 lower. I have read a lot of other peoples blogs and feel pretty confident, as they give lots of tips for care and how to cope over the next year of my life. (thanks everyone) I suggest anyone contemplating Invisalign should do their homework well as it's expensive and time consuming, and you need to commit, in my opinion worth it for the end results.
Home from having the Ist set of Invisalign trays put in. They feel pretty good although they were pretty hard for my Orthodontist to fit on. Lunch time came and my first attempt at getting them off was very difficult, it's hard to get my nails in under the rim to lift as I don't have very long ones being a nurse. At last they popped and I breathed a sigh of relief.. I am sure it has to get easier.
I am feeling lots of pressure but no pain as such. At night taking them off for the evening meal my teeth are feeling bruised and I am actually happy about that, because that means it must be working already.. Yayyyy!
