1. No joke – the main drawback of invisalign for me was the number of times i had to turn down snacks that were offered to me because i was too lazy to take out the invisalign, eat, then brush my teeth and the invisalign again. Since may 2018, every time someone has offered me a sweet, a crisp, or a taste of some interesting new food, i’ve had to politely decline. It was also a massive pain in the arse to wear at music festivals for this reason too. It’s hard enough to make yourself feel clean at a festival without having to worry about finding somewhere to clean your invisalign, or having to clean it in front of an audience at the queue for the water taps.
