{I was so nervous and didn't know what to say! God, the me on this video clip is not my normal self and hope it doesn't appear to be too 'fake'. :P
Anyway, retainer did not work out because I used to 'cleverly' adjust the metal barmyself to loosen it so it didn't hurt as much. I used to misplace it too! Back in the primary school, a boy found it in the school trash bin- so that's the end of my retainer's life.
So hopefully invisalign is going to bring the teeth and the smile line that I've always dreamt of. I don't mind showing a bit of my gum when I smile but i do mind when my teeth appear like a set of denture that isn't put right!

{I love this advert- it's just so beautiful and that's why I am totally sold on this particular treatment. Both the women on this ad are so, so pretty! Really lovely teeth and smile.
Although my teeth aren't what I want them to be, I never hold back my smile. But it's because I don't hold back my smile and I smile a lot, I can never see myself in metal braces- just imagine, a smile of metals?! That's so not attractive at all. =_+} |

{ Oh well, I thought it was quite hilarious, so, for everyone's entertainment- I've decided uploaded this rubbish video on youTube! Plus I am sure when I am an old granny and when I look back, I'll laugh with my little grandkids. :D
Really, it's not normally like this- usually I do it in front of a mirror so I know exactly what I'm doing! I just got a bit nervous doing it in front of the world that's all. :P
Nothing much to say- the aligners are good. I have to be honest and say that for past 3 days, I haven't been wearing them for at least 20 hours a day. I find it particularly hard to decide whether I should take them off while cooking! (Coz I need to taste the food!!) Coz cooking takes 1 hour, eating takes another 1 hour and you need to 'relax' a little on the sofa after dinner with a bit of tv right? That's another hour gone. Then you eat some fruits (they say it's not good to have fruits immediately after your meals). Then time just flies... Plus there is no pain, so I feel the aligners aren't doing a lot on my teeth.... }  |

{ I am getting a bit lazier after doing this video- think I am only wearing them around 19 hours a day now... It just takes me long and longer to put them back on after meals rather than rushing to the toilet brushing my teeth like a good girl should! After week to go and I'll be getting my 'tighter' tray- can't wait for that as I feel the current tray isn't doing too much work! Guess I am quite eager to be in pain! LOL  } |

Cleaning Invisalign Trays... In Search for the Best Way |

{When I first got the aligners, even after the 1st week, the aligners never smelt much even straight after I took them out. But on my 11th day, I noticed that it has started to smell a lot. :(
Although I feel a bit of toothpaste and running cold water is good enough for cleaning the aligners... I just want to try out different methods to see whether they're any better! SO...
Asda Denture Cleaning Tablet I read a lot of reviews that Efferdent cleans the aligners really well but we don't have that brand! I am wondering whether Steradent (the leading brand here) works the same? Or even a supermarket's own brand like Asda denture cleaning tablet? Since the Asda denture tablet was only 30p for 30 tablets, I've decided to give it a try - Plus I'm at the end of my 1st tray anyway)! On the instruction, it said to leave it for an hour or overnight but I reckon since I don't use my aligners to eat, 10 minutes should be sufficient! (Sometimes you just have to be your own doctor to try out your own prescription!) Anyway, I only soaked the trays in warm water with the tablet while I brushed teeth/washed face.Result: sparkling trays! Verdict: I think the tablet makes the cleaning a lot easier as sometimes with just toothpaste & water, it's a bit tricky to clean off the white tooth scum on the edges of the trays... But the tablet that I have contains bleach, so I had to make sure I really rinsed the trays properly.
Dawn Liquid Some people also said to use 'Dawn' dishwashing liquid. So- I am going to give that a try tomorrow night!
Doing new things with my trays keep me excited about wearing them- I guess this is the only way to make me want to wear them for more than 22 hours a day! BUT, what other new things are there to keep me entertained for the rest 11 months?!
Cold Running Water with Sonicare Tooth Brush I think this is the safest (chemical free!) option ever! I just used one of my old sonicare tooth brush head and with a bit of running water and it works! Although the trays didn't come out as shiny as the previous two methods, they look clean! I was a bit wary of using my normal tooth brush head coz my head might get damaged and heads are quite expensive to buy! So just use an old one if you have it! :) }  |
