Well my holiday wasn't great but that's another story. I found going all-inclusive with an Invisalign a lot easier than I thought. Mainly because the hotel would fill my water bottle with club soda so I felt like I was having a treat, but it was just water. at mealtimes I'd have beer or raki or gin and tonic then, floss, brush, rinse and back in with the invisalign.
Once I did swig some cherry drink as I completely forgot about the device in my mouth, but I rushed to the room and cleaned my mouth, they didn't stain.
The sensitivity died down on Tuesday probably thanks to the Sensodyne and just time passing.
I'm surprised at how much 'gunk' gathers on the Invisalign itself I though scrubbing it with a soft toothbrush would be enough, but I've taken to using some washing-up liquid too.
Disaster struck yesterday when the upper set split by my right canine. i think it's because it's a prominent snaggle-tooth and maybe it's been splitting ever-so-slightly for a while.
I called Stephanie, my Ortho today and she said I could switch to the next set, I can't do that for the lowers as I have some more *shudder* IPR- AKA shaving, slenderizing or reproximation. I may ask for the needle because it wasn't painless not matter what Align Technologies say!
As for the tooth movement, I kind of like it. it's a very slight pressure. No pain so far.
I'm concerned I keep waking up grinding my teeth, well the aligners. But I'm stressed at work so it's probably that.
Ok, I'll post you tomorrow after the IPR.
