Well I haven't updated in a long time, mainly because there's not been too much to report on. Same ol' same ol'. New Aligners every two weeks. The usual vice like grip for the first day or so, then back to normality.
I thought I'd give you an update. I went out the other night and took my aligners out so I could have a drink (I didn't want to get Modelo Negro beer all over them!) and I managed to break off two of my lower set attachments, so I made an appointment to have replacements and it's a good job I did because I was actually due some more IPR. that both my Ortho and I was unaware of! I hope my gaps close up soon, I'm beginning to look like a yokel.
Let me just say this lower set has been the most uncomfortable of all my sets so far, I think the Invisalign technician must have been on crack, on Friday night I gave in and filed the razor sharp edges away with an emery board, which did the trick (Oh the relief!) but unfortunately the lacerations from the appliance had been made, so the new soft edges are still rubbing somewhat, so I'll have to soldier on (OK, so I'm being tad melodramatic)
Yesterday I ate a really nice breakfast of Irish sausage and egg, the sausage was really hot and I burned the roof of my mouth right where it meets the back of my teeth. Lots of skin came away it was pretty gross, but as if my mouth hadn't had enough torture from the rough Invisalign, now it's really suffering and the Upper invisalign really hurts where it rubs. I've swooshed a few times with Corsodyl and taken some Cocodamol.
My teeth are really changing position (yeah, I know that's the idea!) Someone who saw me at the beginning of the treatment said they couldn't believe the difference. I can't believe I only have 3 more of the lower set to go and then maybe some refinement- but it's going so fast.
