Finally, 2nd Set of the Trays |

{ 20th January was an key day for my Invisalign journey. Actually, I feel today is the proper starting point of this journey- coz everything finally arrived: attachments, teeth filed and the PAIN! And it's even MORE painful when taking out the trays. The first time when I wanted to take out the trays, lower tray was okay, upper tray seemed impossible. My friend even offered his help to take them off for me! But I was far too scared to let him do that- I just had a picture in my head that my teeth would come out with the tray too! +_= Now, some closeup pictures of my filed teeth. I have loads of tiny gaps between my teeth- it's quite strange cuz I can feel the 'air' going between my teeth when I breath in and out using my mouth. :)  Looks a bit funny, doesn't it? Oh well, beauty comes with a heavy price tag! Hopefully it's just the right amount of room for my upper teeth to rotate and in a few months time, the gap will disappear! (Same applies to the gap on my lower front teeth!!) Now a few more gaps on the side... You can also see my three attachments on my upper teeth. They are so annoying as they make the tray so much harder to take off! I literally have to yank them out and it hurts so much! Although it's slightly easier to take the tray out now (2nd day of wearing my 2nd set of trays), still painful! And my finger tips are in pain too- not just my teeth! Wow, I just realized that my lips look super dry! } |
