I decided to compare aligners #1 with the most recent set (#12) and in doing so I see just how much my pearlies have come along.
I must say, it really is a pain in the ass not to mention a substantial adjustment to get used to the invisalign lifestyle. Yes, you can take invisalign out but you've gotta brush every time prior to putting them back in. I like to snack but sometimes I don't because it's a hassle. On the upside, since I brush like 3-5 times a day my teeth has never been cleaner! When I first started treatment, it felt like I had a hunk of plastic stuffed in my mouth and I thought to myself, WTF did I just sign up for!
Initially you feel conscious of that whole mouth full of plastic feeling. Kind of similar to getting dental work when your lips are full of anesthesia and they feel fat even though they look normal. You also have a temporary speech impediment because your tongue has to get used to having all that new found shit on your grill.
Now, 8 months later it's gotten easier. I can pop those babies in and out with ease. My orthodontist always compliments me for keeping my teeth so clean and for how well my teeth are tracking (obviously you can tell if someone is cheating and keeping them out for a little too long).
I've adjusted, and although it's still as much of a pain in the ass as it was from day one, I think I can handle the temporary inconvenience in the name of a perfect smile.
