Had to grow first finger nails to help pop the trays out. Did get lock jaw at tray 8 and that wasn’t fun…had to use hard nail file to pop trays out. Would love a video on hints/ tricks…like eating out etc
Even though you aren't finished, your teeth look great😊 I'm on day 3 & the attachments are tearing the inside of my cheeks up😫 glad to know it gets better & dental wax is definitely my best friend luckily I discovered this at the beginning lol
I 100% agree with the pain over time. I'm on tray 13/18 and pain only occurs when I switch trays, maybe for a day or two. And I also tend to 'cheat' with the drinking clear beverages and eating out. 22h is totally fine when you're just chilling at home but some days I tend to have them out for 3-4 hours but it's rare. I'm really looking forward to being done with aligners this summer/autumn. Your smile looks great already : )
I've just had mine put in today and your two videos have been so helpful thank you! You should be almost done now if not already and getting ready for the big day? Good luck and hope you have an amazing wedding! And would be great to hear your conclusions etc at the end of the process... after the honeymoon of course 😂
Thank you!! The videos were posted on a bit of a delay, so I’m actually married about 11 months, but I’m only just finishing up my Invisalign 😂 I got a few sets of refinements with delays in between. My teeth were pretty perfect for the wedding though 👌🏻 just some minor tweaks on my bite, midline and closing some gaps. I hope yours is going ok!
I’m on Week 6 and I change my aligners every Week. I have one band. I have to wear mine for 2 years. I haven’t had ANY pain! The only tiny pain is when the aligner catches my gum when I’m putting the bottom in.
I’ve just started on my Invisalign journey. I have a severe deep bite and I will have to wear aligners, and rubber bands, and who know what else, for about 2 years give or take. My orthodontist isn’t putting the attachments on until after my first 2 trays, and I’m on a two week tray rotation. I’ve came across your channel by accident, but I’m glad that I did. Your videos are some of the most helpful I’ve come across. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Yes, I think that your teeth are looking great! It’s a very noticeable difference and has already opened up your smile! To be honest, I’m genuinely skeptical about it for myself. I’m 52 years old and really believed that I’d need traditional braces. But after two different orthodontists told me that Invisalign would be my best option, I’m more hopeful. 🤞. One week down, and only 103 to go! 😂
@@AmericanDingo980 idk if the pain of removing and reinsertion of the aligner is the aligner itself or because of the attachments (I have 15?), but orajel max 4x... If you have pain, let it be your best friend! I put it in my trays before I reinsert them and it's been a blessing!
Hi @ElainePower , How are you getting on now ? Is your treatment all finished and done with ? Really look forward to seeing your Final Results as I’m Seriously considering getting Invisalign 😁👍🏻 Thank you, And Congratulations 🥂 On your Wedding 💖👍🏻
I’m in tray 8/23 and change every 10 days. I only take it out for bfast,lunch,dinner …find it the hardest to brush teeth inside restaurants. I only drink water with them in. Coffee time in the morning is my time they’re out the most
So how are you and your teeth now? Have you already done? Mine has just started yesterday and i have 20 trays. I didn’t like that my mouth doesn’t close when i wear trays. And that’s the worst part. My chin seems weird and longer. I hope it wont change my face shape …
I'm on day 2 and I found your first video so relatable. Everyone else seems to be smooth sailing, no problems. My mouth HURT today. I rushed to the store after work for dental wax and other Invisalign goodies.
I’m doing clear aligners too and there isn’t really a such thing as “when are you due to finish”. You finish a set, get rescanned and get a new set of “refinements” until they decide you’re done. Really curious if she’ll manage before the wedding.
I can see how that would happen. The videos were recorded months before posting because of all the wedding planning.. so I’m married a few months.. and on my last set of refinements (hopefully). I’ll do a final recap video when I get my retainer fitted.
Agreed mine only hurts when taking them out changing trays, only because the pressure is released. I’m on a two week tray change, on tray 8 of 13 after refinement and waiting for a month for them to come in.
One of my attachments fell off the first day of my Invisalign. And afterwards every time I changed trays they always felt too loose no matter how much I tried to chewies to stick them in place
What made you choose Invisalign? I'm going to get info in a few weeks, I'm excited and a bit nervous! How is it to sleep with them in? Have you lost weight?
Im on day 14 and just set my second pair but it hurts so much and my lower teeth feels numb also many of the attachments have fallen should I get them asap? And is it normal to hurt so much it feels like my teeth gonna fall.
Hi Elaine when did you start to notice a real change in your teeth? I’m on tray 6/31 and I’m obsessed with taking selfies etc.. I see a change then I don’t!! I’m on fortnight changes and I haven’t suffered pain slight discomfort at times but nothing more. Thank u. X
I think I really started to notice it when I was close to half way through. Selfies are hard to compare sometimes, because you can’t always get the exact same angle. But close to when I recorded this video, I was really noticing the changes. Hang in there!!
Hello Elaine... I started with my first aligner two days ago. How come you have 28 aligners and haven't still completed treatment after about 10months? I'm just curious. I have 26 aligners and I was kind of hopeful to be done within 7 months... It doesn't work like that?
It depends on how often you change trays. I was fortnightly.. to 10 day, then to 7. Plus I took a month off treatment for my wedding and then I have had to wait for refinement trays to be made etc.
@@ElainePower damn 22 months? If it took you that long with my teeth it’ll take me 78 ugh 😂 ... least he didn’t lie to you and make you stick around another year longer lol
hi may i know is it everytime you wearing the aligner is there gap between upper and lower infront teeth..because I had issue where everytime I'm wearing this aligner I have gap between infront of my teeth even though i wearing properly by chew the rubber but everytime I'm remove the aligner yes my teeth can close and no gap...sorry for my english
Hi, can we get a “I’m finished with Invisalign” video, please?
Nice update. Found you on day one.
I’m more than half way: tightness, no pain. Can’t believe how far my teeth have moved. Feels like magic!
Thanks for watching!

Wow, such a difference already! Can't wait to see the end result! Thanks fr sharing
You’re welcome! It’s the bottom teeth where I really notice the biggest change from the comparisons. Exciting!!
Even though you aren't finished, your teeth look great😊 I'm on day 3 & the attachments are tearing the inside of my cheeks up😫 glad to know it gets better & dental wax is definitely my best friend luckily I discovered this at the beginning lol
Thank you! I hope it’s going better for you now. I’m on my last set of refinements, VERY exciting 🎉
We are together! I started the treatment 5 days ago :)
Braces hurt so much more. I got mine off a couple months ago, retainers don’t hurt at all and I wear them
I 100% agree with the pain over time. I'm on tray 13/18 and pain only occurs when I switch trays, maybe for a day or two.

Oh thank you!! You’re so welcome! It’ll be worth it in the end. I’m nearly finished and I’m so happy with my teeth ❤️

Daaaang, I just jumped ahead from your first video... Look at dem pearly whites. (your accent)
I get my Invisalign in 3 days I’m so excited
Hope you are doing fine and hope to see an update someday ! 😊
Hi @ElainePower , How are you getting on now ? Is your treatment all finished and done with ? Really look forward to seeing your Final Results as I’m Seriously considering getting Invisalign 😁👍🏻 Thank you, And Congratulations 🥂 On your Wedding 💖👍🏻
I am done! I will record a final video 😅 I’ve just been a bit lazy on the recording front. I’m delighted with the results.
I’m in tray 8/23 and change every 10 days. I only take it out for bfast,lunch,dinner …find it the hardest to brush teeth inside restaurants. I only drink water with them in. Coffee time in the morning is my time they’re out the most

Teeth look really good!
I'm starting my journey this month and I'm so excited!!!! Your videos have been very helpful 😁💌
Aw great! I wish you luck! (Just remember that the pain of the first week passes and then you’re flying!)
@@ElainePower Thank u so much ❤️
Please do a video on removing and putting them back? Its my first day and its so painful 😭
I purchased a Pul key from Amazon. This really helps me taking out my aligner!
I’m doing clear aligners too and there isn’t really a such thing as “when are you due to finish”. You finish a set, get rescanned and get a new set of “refinements” until they decide you’re done. Really curious if she’ll manage before the wedding.
My teeth were not as perfect as they are now by the time of the wedding, but they were pretty damn close 👌🏻
Great job! I have to admit I’m very confused by the timeline though 😄
I can see how that would happen. The videos were recorded months before posting because of all the wedding planning.. so I’m married a few months.. and on my last set of refinements (hopefully). I’ll do a final recap video when I get my retainer fitted.

One of my attachments fell off the first day of my Invisalign. And afterwards every time I changed trays they always felt too loose no matter how much I tried to chewies to stick them in place
Do the attachments on the teeth ever come off?
Great video so informative ✨
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment 😊😊
Have you noticed it is easier to chew?
Do think I need Invisalign braces
What made you choose Invisalign? I'm going to get info in a few weeks, I'm excited and a bit nervous! How is it to sleep with them in? Have you lost weight?
I wanted something to straighten my teeth that was the least obvious looking and to be able to take them out for special occasions (e.g. my hen party)
Why no update? 👀👀
Im on day 14 and just set my second pair but it hurts so much and my lower teeth feels numb also many of the attachments have fallen should I get them asap? And is it normal to hurt so much it feels like my teeth gonna fall.
Getting mine today!
Hope it’s going well!
@@ElainePower I’m not the best at wearing them the 22 hours a day. Thank you 😊
Do you have any more recent updates?
have you finished your invisalign yet?
when i take them out the one tooth that hurts really bad feels like its gonna come out lol ;^( hate it
Ugh. I felt that too!

Hi! How are you? I'm wondering, do you still have all your wisdom teeth?
I have 3.. but I also had extractions as a kid and got my back molars removed to allow for my wisdom teeth 🤷🏼♀️ not sure why
@@ElainePower I'm an ortho student. I'd love to tell you about a project I'm working on. Do you have an instagram?

All done now?
So gorgeous..
No final update?
I’m not finished yet 😅 I have one refinement tray left
@@ElainePower ahhh ok ... always ends up being longer than what they say hey 😂
He did say 22 months initially but I LAUGHED.. turns out.. he was right 😅 lots of delays between refinement sets. But so worth it 👌🏻
@@ElainePower damn 22 months? If it took you that long with my teeth it’ll take me 78 ugh 😂 ... least he didn’t lie to you and make you stick around another year longer lol
how it's going now?
Nearly done! Last set of refinement trays
Is this for teeth or jewelry? Confused

Would love to hear an update now that you've finished! Im just on my first week of invisalign now..! @elainepower
