Vacation + Invisalign = :-(

The subject says it all... I went on my annual vacation with my husband's family last week. The weather was wonderful and it was relaxing overall, but the Invisalign really out a damper on things. 

I couldn't enjoy beer on the beach and had to turn it down daily.  Daily!! I usually walk to the boardwalk each night for coffee and frozen custard but that was pretty much out of the question.  Two days I only ended up wearing the aligners for about 20 hours. The rest were closer to the optimal time of 22 hours. 

I suppose I could have broken the rules, but I really want to be compliant and hopefully be rewarded with completing my treatment on schedule.  Yes, it was a sacrifice but I told myself that next year, life will be back to normal and I can enjoy all the beer, coffee and frozen custard I want to with straight, beautiful teeth.
