Last night I put set #9 on. CRAZY!!! I'm officially half way there on the top and bottom set. I don't feel any pain on the bottom ones but on the top I feel it pulling on one side. I always forget that I can't really bite down when i put a new set in. Overall I dont feel alot of pain. I'm really happy with the results though. This is the first time I notice that my freak tooth isnt sticking out as much since I started. I als like that my bottom teeth are finally worthy of being shown so I have to start smiling more and letting myself laugh without covering my mouth...yay!

drank too much and I said too much...

I am so impressed with my use of smiths/morrissey lyrics for my blog titles...anyway:

Yesterday I had an invisalign violation. I ate with my braces on. i was eating pizza, chicken, steak, shrimp, quesadillas....the works. After our office xmas party we crashed a really good one with tons of food and when I checked my coat my bag went with it so i had to keep the braces in. I will never do it again though. It felt really grimy and when I got home they looked disgusting and i had to scrub the crap out of them. Lesson learned.

oh and I;m kind of annoyed that i haven't been keeping an accurate photo log of my dental progress so once i get my camera in a few days I'm going to take pictures every week until June.

My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes

So yesterday I put my new set in and the top ones hurt like hell. The blinding pain lasted about 3 hours and I was just so tired all day afterwards. I really feel it pulling on my freak tooth(the one that started it all) and I'm worried that my teeth aren't going to be perfect like i expect them to be. I really see the one on the bottom that was hidden before so that's a big plus. I already feel them the way i normally do so it's not too bad. I feel unsafe without them on my teeth so it's going to be a weird transition when this is all over. I'm still losing weight because of my invisa-diet so that's good. I am slimmer now and i can tell on my arms, my face and my hips so thats awesome!!! And the fact that people are actually noticing is even better.

I'm almost there

i can't believe i did 3 months already. its so weird. On Tuesday it became 3 months since I first put on my aligners. This set is really tight on the top. Ouch. I of course started drinking with my braces on all night as well because i figured 5 hours with beer braces is better than 5 hours without them.
