At any rate, the burning was so incredibly painful, that I thought I would need to stop the Invisalign journey. It was not a pleasant thought, as I truly wanted my bite to be fixed.<\/p>\n
When I mentioned the issue to my orthodontist, he immediately replied that I should not be experiencing an allergic reaction. So I dropped it, thinking I was off my rocker. But I knew I would have to resolve the issue myself or give up the Invisalign.<\/p>\n
I poked around on the internet to see what could possibly be causing this awful experience.\u00a0And found something called “Burning Mouth Syndrome”. I began to read up on that and found that one of the causes can be from overly brushing your tongue.<\/p>\n
That was the lightbulb moment. I instantly knew that had to be it. I always brushed my tongue when I brush my teeth. However, I was never in the habit of brushing my teeth after every meal and snack. I figured I was brushing and scrubbing my tongue up to 5 times a day! And was literally damaging the nerves\/taste buds. Who knew?<\/p>\n
I stopped brushing my tongue immediately. And the burning pain and metallic taste completely healed in 2 days.<\/p>\n
It’s great having that behind me and on with the program with a better experience. In just a few short days, I will have reached the 2 month mark.<\/p>\n
I can already tell the teeth are shifting. It’s a wonderful work in progress and I’m excited to be well on my way.<\/p>\n
