Invisalign and a new way of eating

KatsMeow12

Okay. I just got Invisalign yesterday and I hate it. Like a foreign object in my mouth that every fiber in my being wants out. BUT I’m paying a lot of money for this so in my mouth it stays. What I’m hoping is that maybe it will create a new, disciplined way of eating. Which, uh, I guess means less, random snacking. 😬 Has anyone else dealt with Invisalign and found it to be a good way to eat less and/or lose weight?

The weird feeling gets better, so stick with it.

I found when I first started that I stopped snacking as taking out the trays, cleaning my teeth etc was too much of a hassle. Over time you quickly fall back into old habits though...

I'm getting mine next Friday and hoping it will help me not to snack so much.

You get used to it after a while. I never had invisalign specifically, but I did have plenty of retainers cemented to the roof of my mouth (headgear, adjustment turn-key retainers, etc.). I would usually go back to normal eating minus the banned foods (like hard candy) after a week or two. It would then feel weird after it gets taken out.

I got Invisaligns right around the time I started trying to lose weight. It definitely helped because I really had to mean business if I was going to bother taking them out, then brushing and flossing after eating. The biggest thing I missed was chewing gum TBH.
