Still getting used to popping my Invisalign braces in and out for meals. At this point they feel fine before I pull them out, but the pressure feeling comes back when I put them back on. I'm guessing that's my teeth trying to go back to their old spots.
It's not as annoying as it was the first few days. My tongue doesn't bump into the ridges like they did, though they do continue to bite part of my cheek when I put my upper tray back in.
Had my first awkward feeling moment yesterday. I went out to lunch with an old colleague who I haven't seen in a couple months. We went to a local dive and I excused myself. I don't know why I felt it was necessary but I told him "I have to hit the head and remove my teeth" which of course brought on a odd look. I then explained that I had braces, and they told me they didn't even notice. That made me feel good, but I wish I did a better job of letting them know. The awkwardness came back at the end when I told them I needed a moment to go brush my teeth and put my tray back in.
Not the end of the world, it went pretty well. It was a total of 30 seconds of awkwardness in a 45 minute catchup session. Just need to keep chugging...
