Six Week Invisalign Update: Permanent Low-Key Crossness

I’m six weeks into my Invisalign treatment ( read this if you need to catch up on why I’m doing it) and despite the experience being relatively drama-free, so far, I’ve realised this week that never in my entire life have I felt such a permanent sense of mild-to-middling crossness.
