So, week 2 is done and done for my treatment, and with week #2 comes... (drumroll please...) NEW TRAYS!! So, I got to switch my Invialigns to a new set yesterday. I'm not gonna lie, I was kinda looking forward to it. I mean, every tray I change is one more step closer to the results that I am looking to achieve. Every 2 weeks I take the new set out of the custom packaging and place my old ones in their respectable container. Speaking of which, I have 2 of those, one blue, one red. The blue one goes with me everywhere. I really should give it a name, so if there are any suggestions out there, hit me up. The blue case is for me to put them in so; a.) I don't lose them (which I would have done already if it hadn't been for the case); b.) aids in keeping them clean in public enviroments; and c.) my orthodontic treatment isn't just awkwardly chilling on a napkin while we are trying to digest. The other case (red case) is for my old ones so in the event of me losing the blue case, I can place my old ones in and no regress in my treatment. As far as the new set goes, same as before pain wise, very little, just a little tight at times but you get used to it, and in a few days, I'll forget that I just changed trays. That's the beauty of this product, not only is it painless and clear, but it is also a gradual process that gives you more freedom than metal braces. I do brush my teeth a lot during the day, after every meal, so I'm hoping that my breath is staying so fresh and so clean, clean.. lol.. I also brush the trays as well, ya know, just to keep 'em looking clear and sparkly...

So, I played a show the other night and loved the fact that I could just pop these out during the show and pop 'em right back in after. I couldn't ask for a more liberal treatment. Not to mention, I dunno if I'm gonna keep removing them. I sing and practice with them in all the time, so I may give the show tomorrow a shot with them in.

Thanks for your support! Talk to ya in a bit...

By the way, did you mention the LENGTH of time you are now in the dental office for your ortho visits? Compare that to the BRACE FACE way....any brace guys and gals care to comment? I know we have hundreds of you out there in braces too that wish it were not so....but then teen invisalign just got created this year....sorry guys!

Not sure that I endorse "liberal" treatment Andy but as they say its more "conservative" to do Invisalign than do braces that attach to the teeth! You may say too that your teeth feel more "libertarian" with Invisalign:) NOW, singing in them after just two weeks...how easy is that...a great testimonial to the ease of wear and normalcy of function with Invisalign. Thanks for sharing these important points to our readers.

Looking Forward to seeing your results on Invisalign Day, June 18th and of coarse hearing some of your accoustic tunes!
