Today I was back to see my Dentist Dr Suki to collect my Invisalign trays 7,8 and 9 and to have the last of my "spacing" procedure done.
Again as before, the spacing was minimal and done on just one tooth, completely painless and over within a minute. Its such a minor procedure that has a huge effect of the teeth movements and assisting with creating the space for this.
I just wanted to point out today, that after speaking with other people who have had the regular "train track" braces in the past and hearing of their painful and unpleasant experiences, they seem to be shocked to know that the Invisalign treatment I am having is COMPLETELY painless. There is no tightening of the wires that they had experienced or huge pressures put on the teeth. Everything with Invisalign is pain-free, convenient yet effective and fast. I feel in control of the treatment as it is left with me to make sure I use the Invisalign consistently.
The most difficult part of the Invisalign treatment for me, was the first tray and those first 2 weeks. Looking back now, I wonder what I was moaning about! I just think with anything new, it is just adjusting to it and becoming comfortable with the treatment and just giving myself time to adjust to speaking with it in and feeling confident and comfortable with using it. Using it now is just like second nature, I don't worry about it, I forget it's there most of the time and I enjoy the knowledge that everyday I am a step closer to having a perfect smile.
Looking forward to these next 6 weeks of treatment and seeing further progress!
