I got my 1st Invisalign tray today. I feel difficulty in closing my mouth and my mouth look like I have something in it. I am very depressed. please guide if it's normal

@@KoukabMahnoor Oh I would definitely phone your orthodontist about it, I would in no way be qualified to say! But I had no issues closing my mouth. Better to ask them ☺

Hey, how long was your entire journey?❤

@@sweetchristine8011 It was just over 1.5 years, but keep in mind a few months of those were waiting for new trays with refinements and such 🤗💖

@@SandraSkaar thank you! My teeth look similar to yours and my orthodontist said it would take about 1.5-2 years and I currently have

Aww, thank you!!

Good luck with your treatment, I hope you're over the worst of the starting pains!

I just started mine yesterday. Have a total of 38 trays to go through. So its always nice to see journeys of people who have travelled the same path or are doing so right now. Thanks for your videos

@@rishabh05 Good luck with your treatment, you will be done before you know it ♥

I’m in tray 1 day 4 of 32 trays changing every 7 days! Can’t wait to get this over with!

Can't believe it's been 7 months already. Changing to tray 17 today. 14 more to go 💪

Oh yay, I am so happy for you! Congrats on such a successful treatment, I can completely relate and wish I did it sooner ❤️

Thank you for the lovely comment and congrats on starting your treatment! It's definitely one of the best things I've done, I'm still so happy with the result 😀 Good luck and have fun seeing the progress!

How is it going after 11 months.?

Yay, congrats on starting your journey! It felt daunting at the start, but as soon as you get going and get the hang of it, time flies by 😊Thank you, I'm so happy to hear it's helpful. Good luck with your treatment!

Thank you so much, I appreciate it ☺️❤️

Thank you so much, Martita! I got better results than I even expected, I am sure you will too, hang in there! 😊

Thank you!! Time goes by so quickly, you'll be at the end before you know it! And it feels so worth it now 😁

I wish I got them when you posted this comment I just got them on today still have about 10 months to go

Thank you! It's amazing what a difference it can make for sure 😁

Thank you, that's such a lovely compliment!

Thank you, Yasmin! Good luck, you can do it and I'm sure you'll have a fantastic smile in no time! 😃✨

Thank you! That's so exciting, good luck!! 🤗😃

Thank you!

Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you so much, I hope your treatment is going well 🥰

hows it going after 4 months?

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that! Good luck with your invisalign journey 😃

@@SandraSkaar how long did it take and how much it cost to you?

Yooo- did you get to the 18th yet?

@@jeebly4259 No, I actually cancelled my treatment after tray 13 for several reasons. It did not work out for me but I'm actually not sad about it.

Good luck with your treatment! 😃

Thank you so much! It was definitely a big mood boost 😁😁

Yay hope you have had a good start to your journey and are over the initial pain of it all! 😃

Thank you so much 🤗 And if it helps at all, I am so so so happy I ended up getting my second round of refinements, it's truly worth it in the end!

Thank you so much! And that's really interesting, my orthodontist never gave me any option between different retainers, so I'm not sure why I got this one. So sorry to hear you're having tracking issues, it can feel so difficult when you're in the middle of it. I hope the appointment went well and that the rest of your treatment goes according to plan!

Thank you! How exciting, I've seen a lot of us taking care of dental issues like this that maybe should have been sorted when we were young or children, so know that you are in good company! Good luck with your treatment ☺️💞

Good luck with the rest of your treatment 😀

Thank you, im so happy to hear that! I would look up a lot of before and afters to stay motivated as well 😃Hang in there!!

true camo same i got my Invisalign yesterday feeling bit of pressure and pain on my teeth don't know how the time is gonna pass

Thank you! 🤗💖

Thank you! 😊

Yay that's so exciting, good luck!! 😃

Thank you and good luck with the rest of the treatment!

Haha, at least we're not overthinking it! 😁 Thank you, and I hope your treatment is going well!

Thank you! It's worth the wait 🤩

Oh yay, that's so exciting! Fingers crossed and feel free to leave another comment when you've had your consultation, to let us know how it went 😃 Good luck! xx

@@SandraSkaar thank you so much!!! I watched all of your videos last night! Your results are incredible and it makes me so excited xxx

@@hannahemery885 awe thank you so much 🥰 It's amazing what Invisalign can do, I only wish I did it sooner now 😁

@@SandraSkaar I just came back to watch your videos again for some motivation….I got my Invisalign on 9 days ago and tomorrow I change to tray 2 of 34 (before refinements) yay!! Xx

It absolutely is! I honestly have had a few "Oh no!" moments after eating, thinking I forgot to put the trays back in, and then I remember that's done 😅 Not quite used to it yet, but it's great!

@@SandraSkaar you'll miss the chewies haha

Thank you 💖 It was about 1.5 years from my first tray until the last 😊

Thank you ♥

Ahh hoping it all works out well for you - even if I had a few hiccups and delays along the way, it was so worth it in the end, just hang in there! And yes, I did have elastics from around tray 10 (if I remember correctly)

Thank you, good luck with your treatment! ✨

That's quite the compliment, thank you!

Yay, that's great! I was really surprised that I saw such great results way before reaching the end as well - it makes it very motivating to finish the process!

Thank you! ☺️ I think something like a year and 7 or 8 months. But several of those months were waiting in between refinements (and a tracking issue I had around month 8 or so), as it takes some time waiting for new trays after you get new scans and so on. The waiting is a bit frustrating, but at least it gave a bit of a break from the usual discomfort of switching trays every week 😁

Thank you!!

I remember I actually had one of my more painful trays around week 10 or 11 as well, I suppose some just move more than others maybe. Keep going, it will be worth it! And I hope you are in less pain now 💖

@@SandraSkaar I had to wear tray 13 for 2 additional weeks because I had to go thru refinement, meaning I had to get my attachments (buttons as some call them) taken off and wear tray 13 while await for my new trays to come back in… the trays started to lift on my back teeth…so far i have been in tray 13 two weeks with attachments (buttons) and 10 days w/o attachments. I was told to wear them still w/o the attachments so my teeth will not shift.

Thank you!

Thank you that's so kind! 🤗

Thank you! 😊 And I genuinely cannot remember, I would guess 60-70? I think the initial treatment started with 50-something, but that changes, depending on how your teeth respond and if you need refinements and so on.

Oh, also did you have any bonding done? Or just the shaving at the end?

Thank you so much! I was told I have to wear the night retainer for 1.5 years, but I have a new checkup in two weeks, so I will ask again then. The one that is glued on has to be a forever thing, I think. We discussed bonding, but then I didn't feel the need for it at the end, so it was just the shaving. I definitely would have asked more about what the process was like when things "didn't go to plan", so I was prepared for the long wait time when my teeth weren't tracking. And also whether there were extra costs for refinements and such (it wasn't in my case, but I only thought of it when I was mid treatment and it would have been way too late to back out at that point obviously). I wish I had read a bit more online, I found a lot of info on reddit, which would have helped me with what I should consider before a consultation. But just don't be too worried from the posts, I found a few horror stories there and the pain described might have scared me from getting Invisalign. Sorry I saw your comment so late, hopefully it's still useful :)

Around 1.5 years!

Thank you for sharing, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one doing and thinking this! I definitely felt like I saw my teeth in a whole new light after I had started my Invisalign treatment (I can't believe I used to think they were straight enough with just one tooth a pretty wonky haha!), I think you're right that it just comes with the territory as you are focusing more on something.

Thank you!! 🥰 Right? It feels like a small eternity ago 😄

Thank you! What is the speak out challenge?

@@SandraSkaar it is a game made by Hasbro.. it is game that you need to wear the cheek retractor and try to speak a words and we need to guess what you said..it is a fun game..i hope you can play it...

@@Msyaz-dl2tr that is a great idea..i hope you also could do it..plus you could wear the cheek retractor and show close up of your teeth so we can see the changes of your smile better..

@@Msyaz-dl2tr that is great idea..hope @Sandra Skaar will considered doing it..

Thank you so much 😊 Yay for being at the end!! I can relate to the uncertainty towards the end of the treatment 😄 I think in total, from getting my first tray to filming this video was a year and 7-8 months, I'll have to do the exact math. And I did two rounds of refinements, the first was 7 trays and the second was 6, if I remember correctly. All worth it in the end, I'll talk more about it in the Q&A as well!

@@SandraSkaar did you do the refinements after this video or were they already completed?

@@emmasmoothy999 this was the last of it! :)

Thank you! And I'm actually so happy you asked this haha because I thought I was seeing things, thinking my top lip looked a little fuller. No fillers at all (a few unrelated allergic reactions but that's many months ago, so I wouldn't think it's that 😅). It's very minimal if you compare to my first video (only really visible when I smile I think), but maybe it's because the lip can lay much flatter now? Not sure of the mechanics of it, but I'm not complaining 😁

Thank you! I felt it came out even better than I imagined when I started, it's totally different seeing the results on yourself (and not just the animation) so I'm sure there's a really good chance you will experience the same - fingers crossed! None of my teeth have moved yet, but I do use the retainer at night (AND the permanent they glued on). I have been meaning to film an update at some point, but nothing much has happened (thankfully!) 😄

Thank you! 😁

Thank you!!!

Hahaha! Thank you for the laugh (and the compliment) 😄🥰 On me they used some sort of digital device to scan my teeth so I didn't have to do the putty, perhaps they can for you as well? It was still a little faffy but very doable and over quickly. Either way, good luck, it's amazing what results you can get!

Thank you! Sorry I missed your comment for ao long, they are from Vasuma ☺️

Thank you! I forget exactly, but I think 1.5 years ish :) And still doing great!

Thank you! I talked about it in the video :)

@@SandraSkaar tq

Thank you! And nope, I didn't! But a very large part of my treatment was "lifting" or pushing up my front teeth, so I think it happened that way.

Yay, that's so exciting, good luck!
