  • I know this is an old video. I have Invisalign too. You mentioned two things that made me wonder. You said your wisdom teeth are still in? Why didn't your dentist have them removed before the Invisalign process? What if they cause a problem after your teeth straighten out? Also you had some extractions. So did I, but I had mine done after the impressions were made and they digitally removed the teeth. Saved me money on the retainers and the wait from Invisalign. Just something to think about.

  • i used to have a retainer i ate with mine in, it just takes practice and cleaning it after.

  • Comment removed

  • were you left with any gaps at the end of treatment were you got the teeth out to make room for your teeth to go back and if so were they big gaps thanks

  • I'm so far from being done with my treatment I can't answer that... I will say the space is closing more and more every day though :-)

  • I got my braces off, and I have a clear retainer, and I usually have mine off for like 3 hours a day. But my teeth dont look like, or feel like theyve shifted and my retainer still fits perfectly on my teeth. But if i cook my meal, I usually just wear it while im cooking, then take it off before i eat.

  • yeah, I was referring more to the Invisaligns needing to be in 23hrs. As far as cooking goes-I've learned that you can just taste it with the trays in and then brush them later when you're done eating. :oP Thanks!

  • lol! My boyfriends family is from Vietnam and they think it's bad luck! so I was freaking out.

  • @nikildo

    hope invisalign did better for you than it did for me.

    my ortho gave me braces for free after invisalign because it failed so bad.

    and its cool that u have a viet bf, im viet too.

    hopethings are working out okay.

    peace and love

    they grow up so fast lol

  • and i hope this will be some help. every time i go see my orthodontist he tells me that if my trays aren't fitting right to eat a meal with them in. he says it's ok as long as you don't do it all the time. I'll tell you straight up i have sampled lots of pasta with mine in so small eating with them in is no problem.

  • Really!? That's crazy, what does it feel like? Weird. I don't know if I could do it.

  • umm.. it feels like really weird chewing. you can do it.. but it doesn't feel right. as if you're using someone else's teeth lol. but for something as simple as testing pasta it's no problem

  • Haha using someone else's teeth? Eww. I think of borrowing someones dentures.....lol! You crack me up.

  • You'll get used to it. it's not as weird as you think. and what the hell!!! this video already has 221 views!!! some of mine from months ago dont have that! you're already more popular than me :( it won't be long until you pass be in the subscriber count either
