i'm on invisalign aligner number 15, yay! only 10 more to go, by right.
Dr R did say to get an electric toothbrush at the beginning, but i have never had one in my life and have always considered them an extravagance. however i have in recent months been bought over by the promises of whiter and cleaner teeth on the boxes of these devices, so after comparing and comparing toothbrushes online, finally decided to get one from boots when it was 50% + 15% off, haha. i love deals, have i said that already?
ok, so the toothbrush arrives a few days later, and i eager tear it open and set it up. alas, it requires an initial charge of 24 hrs and we were going to paris the next day... another 3 day delay then (i was hoping to have perfectly white and shiny teeth 2 weeks from the time i placed my order, just as Philips promised).
back from paris and it's time for a first brush. i did what i thought was right - i squeeze some toothpaste on, hit the "on" button, and bring the brush to my mouth. But scarcely was the toothbrush halfway to my mouth when all the toothpaste flew away from the brush, literally. i tried a 2nd time, and again the toothpaste just couldnt make it to my teeth. Exasperated, i shout out to the husband (who had used electric toothbrushes in his previous life before meeting me) and he starting laughing and laughing....
apparently i was supposed to put the toothbrush, with toothpaste on, in my mouth first, before i hit the "on" button.
how on earth was i to know something like that!!!
anyhow, onward to white shiny teeth! :) or i will call on your money back guarantee and ask for my money back!
