Invsialign Trays 15. These went in yesterday morning, again the top one surprisingly loose so still amazed that it is supposed to be doing anything at all. The bottom one still pushing out the canine so look Mutley is well on track – delightful. I can see movement but it does seem SUCH a SLOW process.

Yesterday afteroon however following a special Teeth and Tennis birthday tea – the pain on brushing was agony – the top LHS molar – agony, so absess? cracked tooth? cavity? All worrying as about to go on holiday – great timing. Warm salt washes and scrubbing galore gave no relief and this morning same problem – ugh. Off to tennis where luckily another friend is a dentist – hurrah and kindly gave me a 5mins consult – verdict likely ulcers – delightful. So on getting home I discovered a long thin ulcer at the top of the gum line likely caused by a sharp edge of the invisalign tray. So Bonjela on, salt washes, grimacing but at least a way forward.

Is it that Invisalign trays can cause ulcers in this way – off to do some research on this matter as this is very painful. I have had the odd ulcer at the front of my mouth before normally if I have bitten myself by accident or stress chewing but nothing like this.

Oh the joys of vanity.

Oh and Oh
