Ith been four dayth thince I got Invithalign.
Tho far, tho good!
OK, I guess I don’t sound that bad, at least according to my too-kind friends.
I’m very thankful to have this state-of-the-art apparatus that will, in just one year, make me smiley-er and prettier, but I have some things to whine about and that’s exactly what blogs are for.
Tho here:
- THERE’S A THING IN MY MOUTH! While Invisalign is pretty much invisible, it’s very much feelable. My teeth are encased in plastic. I keep wanting to claw this sucker out, but I won’t because I have self control and if I did, people would say, “Ew.”
- I can’t snack at any and every moment of the day. One of the rules of Invisalign is that you’re only supposed to take it out three times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For a girl who’s used to saying “SURE!” to every edible object presented to her, this can be very upsetting. At this Nintendo party I went to on Tuesday, trays of hor’ doeuvres were shoved in my face left and right. The following scene just can’t keep happening: “Kobe beef sliders, miss?” “Yes! Stay right there! Let me run to the bathroom to take the plastic off my teeth!”
- The lisp. It’s supposed to go away after a day or two, but it’s Day 4 and I still have to practice my “She Sells Seashells” each morning. It’s retarded.
- Hygiene. If you don’t brush your teeth after each meal, little particles of food get trapped inside the plastic. SICK.
Those are my thoughts thus far. It’s much better than having braces, but still. THERE’S A THING IN MY MOUTH!
