my tip to getting used to the trays ...... sing!!

ok I was a bit worried that my speech was not as clear as it could be so I sang a few songs to practice my pronunciation .... my S's are still a bit lispy but it has definitely improved it and what can you expect when all your teeth are surrounded in plastic.

Here is me attempting owl city's- vanilla twilight wearing my 1st set of trays  laugh at it enjoy it join in what ever you like :D

photos and updated 30/07/11

Still liking my invisalign already can feel they have shifted as i can now floss between all of my teeth quite normally :D! oh and it says on my trays 35U 28L

However I have already lost an attachment 2nd day in I have emailed my ortho because the practice is shut until monday.(no reply yet)  She did say not to panic when she was putting them on as it was likley to happen having 13 but still id rather it was there like its supposed to be...

Here are some photos to start the journey off will put some more up in a few trays time see if we can see any difference :D

Me wearing my invisalign

(these are phtotos of my 2nd trays which are very similar as I can't be faffed with taking out my tray 1s I have just put them back in after lunch lol )

DAY1

I finally got my invisalign fitted 13 attachments!

So far i'm finding them fine just bizarre having something constantly in your mouth. Haven't tried taking them out yet as i'm at work, no one has asked yet even though someone did ask me to repeat my self on the phone but come on only had them in an hour lisp not really there getting easier and easier every time I speak.

I have to go back to get tray 3 in 4 weeks time

I will let you all know how my attempt to remove them goes later and put some pics up also my boyfriends opinion lol... there not that bad I was expecting them to be really weird with 13 attachments right across front top teeth but I think there ok and its only for a year and a half

:(

Ok so you would be thinking now that its the 19-Jul-11 I would be wearing my invisalign. You would be wrong the trays where delayed 1 week in the post however I was lacking any transport the following week to book an appointment so role on the 28th July ....  Just want to get started soooo bad!!! :D haha

keep you posted

2 days until trays! .... ahhhhh

Ok so according to my ortho I will have 35 trays U/L even though my lowers will finish earlier the remaining trays will just hold them in place, which will be around year and a half maybe longer depending on refinements .. hopefully finishing around my 21st birthday next November!!!

woohoo soo I have quite a few trays and a lot of attachments to come.... 13 in total ahh but im soo excited sure it will be worth it in the end!!

ClinCheck

Impressions 09/06/2011

One step closer now to starting invisalign.

The impressions went really well. They started off by taking lots of photos from different angles which where mostly fine apart from the ones with the mirror in your mouth .... *I have a small mouth* the mirror was to wide!! haha

Impressions them selves went really quickly top one needed doing twice but was a breeze, bottom one only took one go but was slightly less comfortable my tongue felt like it was getting in the way... 

But never mind done now go back in 2 and 1/2 weeks for clincheck video review woohoooo time to see the finished result haha virtually of course. Then hopefully trays will be here later in July!! yay Looking forward to knowing exactly how many trays i need but my approximate time is just under a year !

This is great because I was put off braces when at school 1 because I hated the idea of having something permanently stuck to your teeth that had to be tightend. 2 I would have had to have 4 teeth taken out. 3 It was going to take 3 years on the nhs waiting list then about 2 years to complete treatment....

Invisalign ortho says I have a less teeth than most "none of my back wisdom teeth are there". No teeth are going to need removing nothing is going to be physically tightend whilst stuck to my teeth and its going to take under a year ... to date i couldnt recomend invisalign more.. lets see what my opinion is when im actually wearing them right haha
