I've also experienced what's called the invisalign diet. This entails major weight loss (17lbs) while wearing invisalign. Woo Hoo! The fact that I can't snack is a catch 22. On one hand I'm happy about the weight loss, but it can also get a little annoying that I can't just eat a bag of chips and go. I must brush/floss my teeth every time I eat. It really makes me realize how much junk food I was eating! You must be determine and dedicated to go through this process. Overall I'm happy with this entire process. I'm getting rid of my gap and losing weight. I feel so much better physically due to the weight loss. I've also noticed that I have been smiling much more lately. Just the thought that I'm improving my smile has increased my confidence in this short time frame. My teeth are also so much whiter due to all of the brushing that I've been doing. Invisalign so far has improved my life in a variety of ways and I'd say I'll been keeping Tray around for a while longer. I took the below picture the night before I switched to Tray 3. I'll keep you posted on this journey.

Great news on the weight loss! Bonus! :) Always feels amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm having the problem of overeating because I don't want to mess with snacking. I have to adjust somehow, I lost weight previous to Invisalign and part of that was light meals throughout the day.
Thank you Christina! I eat less because I get full faster and I drink water over 95% of the time. I just realize how much I was over eating. Most of the time I was having 2 or 3 servings of something as opposed to just 1. I've enjoyed reading your blog!
DeleteCongrats on the weight loss! That's a cool bonus!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keysha. Yes I'm thrilled about it. Do you wear invisalign?
ReplyDeleteNo I have Damon braces; clear on top front, metal on sides and bottom arch.
