My Invisalign Treatment Continues

Hi! How's everyone doing in this Philippine summer heat?

I am now wearing a new set of aligners and am currently more than 4 months into my treatment. I am very happy that my teeth movements are slowly, but surely taking place!

 

To give you my honest opinion, I found that the 1st few days of treatment were quite hard, trying to get used to the feel of the aligners in my mouth and adjusting to how I spoke while wearing them. I had a lisp for the first few days and removing the aligners was a little uncomfortable. After some time, the aligners slid on and off easily without the need for a mirror or any pressure at all. I honestly forget that I'm wearing them sometimes! I am so pleased and the treatment has been much easier.

 

I was really surprised that many people, colleagues, friends, and family, did not notice them at all unless I asked them to see if they notice that I was wearing Invisalign! Even when I did, some people assumed that I was wearing lingual braces (behind the teeth).

 

I will be transitioning to another set of aligners in the next 2 weeks. Every time I change to a new set of aligners, I always expect the tightness and difficultly of getting them off for the 1st few days. I have been totally used to wearing the aligners.

 

Expect more updates from me very soon and feel free to ask questions. My blog's just about to reach 1000 views.  Please keep sharing this blog so more Filipinos can learn about Invisalign. Thanks to everyone for all your help!

 

Any plans for the upcoming Labor Day Weekend, aside from rooting for our very own Pacquiao? Have a good one and bye for now!

My Summer Photos

Hey everyone! How's your summer so far?

Holy week in my hometown of Samal Island, Davao was fantastic with my best friends - we had such a good time. I have bigger smiles now that my teeth are being straightened with Invisalign! It's been four months into my treatment - have you noticed that I have a more relaxed smile, without worrying in photos. I have been able to take lots of cheesy pictures and will take more during my Invisalign treatment!

Can I be in the next Invisalign summer social media ad? Lol!

My Invisalign dentist noted improvements in my maloclussion during my last consultation with her. Here's a photo of me below having coffee with her at a lovely cafe in Makati. With my busy schedule, I am unable to see my Invisalign doctor often for consultations, but with Invisalign it is not a problem. Invisalign consultations can be done every 2 months. I am in contact with my Invisalign dentist by email and mobile anyway, so I keep her updated with my compliance and diligent use of the aligners to ensure proper treatment.

I always remember to pop out my aligners before drinking liquids other than water (not including hot water), too, so as not to stain them.

Again, with Invisalign, there are no diet restrictions, so I can eat whatever i want!

Pinakbet pizza only in Paoay!

 

The last 2 photos above were just taken last week in Laoag, Ilocos when I was there for work with colleagues. Invisalign truly doesn't get in the way of my career and travels.

As I write this 3rd blog entry of mine, I notice that have already had more than 600 views here. On my 4th blog entry in the next 2 weeks, I hope to have 1000 views, so keep sharing my blog (entry/ies) and feel free to ask me any questions about Invisalign (treatment). I am more than happy to share my InvisaLife experience here in the Philippines.

Salamat and have a good week!
