INVISALIGN HALFWAY POINT UPDATE! | Progress Photos, Pain Levels, Teeth Staining & More!

[@kdyooper28]

Nice update. Found you on day one. I’m more than half way: tightness, no pain. Can’t believe how far my teeth have moved. Feels like magic!

[@ElainePower]

Thanks for watching!

[@rosescott6944]

Hi, can we get a “I’m finished with Invisalign” video, please?

[@sarahmae277]

6 months later, how about now?

[@robertcochran7103]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I am in my first 36 hours with Invisalign, and I want to learn from your experience. I really appreciate your posting this. I hope your wedding went very well, too.

[@ElainePower]

Thank you! It went great :) married two years now! Hope you’re treatment is going well

[@nbutler5183]

Wow, such a difference already! Can't wait to see the end result! Thanks fr sharing

[@ElainePower]

You’re welcome! It’s the bottom teeth where I really notice the biggest change from the comparisons. Exciting!!

[@ourfamilyvideos7283]

Had to grow first finger nails to help pop the trays out. Did get lock jaw at tray 8 and that wasn’t fun…had to use hard nail file to pop trays out. Would love a video on hints/ tricks…like eating out etc

[@ac-nb4pn]

What happened after that? I have TMJ and I'm so scared of having that happen!

[@Pwoosi]

You're making me excited so start my journey in January 😆

[@MsCowherd]

Even though you aren't finished, your teeth look great😊 I'm on day 3 & the attachments are tearing the inside of my cheeks up😫 glad to know it gets better & dental wax is definitely my best friend luckily I discovered this at the beginning lol

[@ElainePower]

Thank you! I hope it’s going better for you now. I’m on my last set of refinements, VERY exciting 🎉

[@naass9447]

We are together! I started the treatment 5 days ago :)

[@Bruh-qn7ul]

Braces hurt so much more. I got mine off a couple months ago, retainers don’t hurt at all and I wear them

[@Winter-blues]

I’m on Week 6 and I change my aligners every Week. I have one band. I have to wear mine for 2 years. I haven’t had ANY pain! The only tiny pain is when the aligner catches my gum when I’m putting the bottom in.

[@KrisNoble]

I've just had mine put in today and your two videos have been so helpful thank you! You should be almost done now if not already and getting ready for the big day? Good luck and hope you have an amazing wedding! And would be great to hear your conclusions etc at the end of the process... after the honeymoon of course 😂

[@ElainePower]

Thank you!! The videos were posted on a bit of a delay, so I’m actually married about 11 months, but I’m only just finishing up my Invisalign 😂 I got a few sets of refinements with delays in between. My teeth were pretty perfect for the wedding though 👌🏻 just some minor tweaks on my bite, midline and closing some gaps. I hope yours is going ok!

[@martinakrook]

I 100% agree with the pain over time. I'm on tray 13/18 and pain only occurs when I switch trays, maybe for a day or two. And I also tend to 'cheat' with the drinking clear beverages and eating out. 22h is totally fine when you're just chilling at home but some days I tend to have them out for 3-4 hours but it's rare. I'm really looking forward to being done with aligners this summer/autumn. Your smile looks great already : )

[@ElainePower]

Awww thank you!! I hope you’re getting ok with your treatment

[@Milly.32]

Hey how are your results?

[@AmericanDingo980]

I’ve just started on my Invisalign journey. I have a severe deep bite and I will have to wear aligners, and rubber bands, and who know what else, for about 2 years give or take. My orthodontist isn’t putting the attachments on until after my first 2 trays, and I’m on a two week tray rotation. I’ve came across your channel by accident, but I’m glad that I did. Your videos are some of the most helpful I’ve come across. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@ElainePower]

Oh thank you!! You’re so welcome! It’ll be worth it in the end. I’m nearly finished and I’m so happy with my teeth ❤️

[@AmericanDingo980]

Yes, I think that your teeth are looking great! It’s a very noticeable difference and has already opened up your smile! To be honest, I’m genuinely skeptical about it for myself. I’m 52 years old and really believed that I’d need traditional braces. But after two different orthodontists told me that Invisalign would be my best option, I’m more hopeful. 🤞. One week down, and only 103 to go! 😂

[@MsJipsey26]

@@AmericanDingo980 idk if the pain of removing and reinsertion of the aligner is the aligner itself or because of the attachments (I have 15?), but orajel max 4x... If you have pain, let it be your best friend! I put it in my trays before I reinsert them and it's been a blessing!

[@piperuk5366]

Wow!! What a bootiful smile!! I'm on day 3 and miserable as sin. Thank you for your helpful vids ❤❤❤ all the best to you

[@ElainePower]

You’re welcome!!

[@rashodlewis2918]

Teeth look really good!

[@LaurElan]

Hi, question, are you given all the trays at once with a timeline of when to change them or do you have to go in each time to be fitted?

[@eyesondee]

I'm starting my journey this month and I'm so excited!!!! Your videos have been very helpful 😁💌

[@ElainePower]

Aw great! I wish you luck! (Just remember that the pain of the first week passes and then you’re flying!)

[@eyesondee]

@@ElainePower Thank u so much ❤️

[@elenaruth9682]

I’m doing clear aligners too and there isn’t really a such thing as “when are you due to finish”. You finish a set, get rescanned and get a new set of “refinements” until they decide you’re done. Really curious if she’ll manage before the wedding.

[@ElainePower]

My teeth were not as perfect as they are now by the time of the wedding, but they were pretty damn close 👌🏻

[@elenaruth9682]

Great job! I have to admit I’m very confused by the timeline though 😄

[@ElainePower]

I can see how that would happen. The videos were recorded months before posting because of all the wedding planning.. so I’m married a few months.. and on my last set of refinements (hopefully). I’ll do a final recap video when I get my retainer fitted.

[@sharonshowell3853]

Agreed mine only hurts when taking them out changing trays, only because the pressure is released. I’m on a two week tray change, on tray 8 of 13 after refinement and waiting for a month for them to come in.

[@Tropical8D]

Hope you are doing fine and hope to see an update someday ! 😊

[@ourfamilyvideos7283]

I’m in tray 8/23 and change every 10 days. I only take it out for bfast,lunch,dinner …find it the hardest to brush teeth inside restaurants. I only drink water with them in. Coffee time in the morning is my time they’re out the most

[@salihas2744]

So how are you and your teeth now? Have you already done? Mine has just started yesterday and i have 20 trays. I didn’t like that my mouth doesn’t close when i wear trays. And that’s the worst part. My chin seems weird and longer. I hope it wont change my face shape …

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Daaaang, I just jumped ahead from your first video... Look at dem pearly whites. (your accent)

[@MrZanderLaw]

Hi @ElainePower , How are you getting on now ? Is your treatment all finished and done with ? Really look forward to seeing your Final Results as I’m Seriously considering getting Invisalign 😁👍🏻 Thank you, And Congratulations 🥂 On your Wedding 💖👍🏻

[@ElainePower]

I am done! I will record a final video 😅 I’ve just been a bit lazy on the recording front. I’m delighted with the results.

[@littleeddie133]

I have decided against getting them, 65 years old and no teeth issues, have impacted wisdom teeth and worried it might affect them so why take the chance, also think of all your friends and ask yourself if your friends teeth are crooked and noticeable, you probably have never noticed so nobody is noticing mine then.

[@StarlitSunLight]

One of my attachments fell off the first day of my Invisalign. And afterwards every time I changed trays they always felt too loose no matter how much I tried to chewies to stick them in place

[@missyjj]

I get my Invisalign in 3 days I’m so excited

[@mehreenkhan4127]

Please do a video on removing and putting them back? Its my first day and its so painful 😭

[@leeshc5952]

I purchased a Pul key from Amazon. This really helps me taking out my aligner!

[@eppityrrell8236]

Great video so informative ✨

[@ElainePower]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment 😊😊

[@esraaemad8632]

guys i'm getting my Invisalign in month and my ortho told me that my treatment doesn't require any attachment, has anybody tried the Invisalign without attachment and works with him because I'm really scared

[@eugene4950]

Got 11 attachments on top teeth , and 4 of them are on front main ones... Every aligner removal is horrible as aligner is dead stuck caged from sides and front as well 💀

[@judithmartin1970]

What made you choose Invisalign? I'm going to get info in a few weeks, I'm excited and a bit nervous! How is it to sleep with them in? Have you lost weight?

[@ElainePower]

I wanted something to straighten my teeth that was the least obvious looking and to be able to take them out for special occasions (e.g. my hen party)

[@michelled219]

Getting mine today!

[@ElainePower]

Hope it’s going well!

[@michelled219]

@@ElainePower I’m not the best at wearing them the 22 hours a day. Thank you 😊

[@musakaklementina]

Im on day 14 and just set my second pair but it hurts so much and my lower teeth feels numb also many of the attachments have fallen should I get them asap? And is it normal to hurt so much it feels like my teeth gonna fall.

[@aidenignition]

I'm on day 2 and I found your first video so relatable. Everyone else seems to be smooth sailing, no problems. My mouth HURT today. I rushed to the store after work for dental wax and other Invisalign goodies.

[@ElainePower]

Hope your treatment is going well!

[@laurencornwall7494]

Do you have any more recent updates?

[@ew6225]

when i take them out the one tooth that hurts really bad feels like its gonna come out lol ;^( hate it

[@ElainePower]

Ugh. I felt that too!

[@two_inline_sixes]

Have you noticed it is easier to chew?

[@WaynesPokeWorld]

Why no update? 👀👀

[@ElainePower]

Because I stopped uploading due to changing roles in work and getting super busy. I promise I will record a final update. I’m all done!!

[@davegtr1230]

Hi! How are you? I'm wondering, do you still have all your wisdom teeth?

[@ElainePower]

I have 3.. but I also had extractions as a kid and got my back molars removed to allow for my wisdom teeth 🤷🏼‍♀️ not sure why

[@davegtr1230]

@@ElainePower I'm an ortho student. I'd love to tell you about a project I'm working on. Do you have an instagram?

[@2cute2021]

Do the attachments on the teeth ever come off?

[@ElainePower]

Yes! I got mine off after my first set of trays. They stay for some people until the end of treatment and then come off.

[@katiebranch9493]

Do think I need Invisalign braces

[@kermitthefrog7136]

Hi Elaine when did you start to notice a real change in your teeth? I’m on tray 6/31 and I’m obsessed with taking selfies etc.. I see a change then I don’t!! I’m on fortnight changes and I haven’t suffered pain slight discomfort at times but nothing more. Thank u. X

[@ElainePower]

I think I really started to notice it when I was close to half way through. Selfies are hard to compare sometimes, because you can’t always get the exact same angle. But close to when I recorded this video, I was really noticing the changes. Hang in there!!

[@mayowawilliams3733]

Hello Elaine... I started with my first aligner two days ago. How come you have 28 aligners and haven't still completed treatment after about 10months? I'm just curious. I have 26 aligners and I was kind of hopeful to be done within 7 months... It doesn't work like that?

[@ElainePower]

It depends on how often you change trays. I was fortnightly.. to 10 day, then to 7. Plus I took a month off treatment for my wedding and then I have had to wait for refinement trays to be made etc.

[@dauntlessdivine2627]

have you finished your invisalign yet?

[@ElainePower]

Yes! I looove my new teeth :)
