On my lunch break, I decided not to eat because I didn’t want to even attempt to take out my liners. I spent my lunch break at rite-aid buying toothpaste, Listerine strips, a dental pick (to help remove the liners) a travel toothbrush and chapstick! I notice my lips become dry more often than normal, I’m not sure why or maybe I’m just making it up in my head? Anyway.. I ended up really hungry since I hadn’t really eaten since I got Invisalign so I grabbed a salad and brought it back to work with me. It took me approximately an hour to eat lettuce... annoying.
Later on in the day, my best friend needed me to ride her to an Arbonne meeting because her foot was broken. I spent 3 hours speaking to multiple different women, I don't think anyone noticed it was in. No one looked at me weird, but I know I was doing something weird with my mouth. I find it very hard to smile, I’m SO self-conscious with this thing in! I think it’s because of the two attachments on my side teeth, it kinda looks like I have Vampire Fangs. I always did want to be a Vampire, and reap the benefits, but I guess without the fangs showing ALL THE TIME! Hahaha…
Around 10:30pm I finally got the courage to attempt to eat again. This time I was at a restaurant, and I took my liners out in the bathroom.. awkward. Everyone was staring at me like I was pulling out my own teeth or I had dentures or something. I ended up ordering just soup and some fried rice, because neither involved much chewing. Finally something in my stomach!! I guess if anyone wants to lose weight my best suggestion would be Invisalign!
This morning was a different story however, I woke up and have no pain at all. The only problem is my top lip has a small cut on it from a rough edge on my liner, and I cut my tongue from the back of my bottom liner. My friend who also has Invisalign recommended that I try “Peroxyl Sore Mouth Rinse” made by Colgate. I'll try it later and hope that it works!
So far I think my biggest hurdle is going to be not drinking coffee in the morning, and now that it’s fall I am dying for a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Oh well, I want nice straight teeth and I’m gonna have to put up with this and be dedicated until I am happy with my smile!
