I have braces 20 years ago but was never happy with the results. My teeth have moved spaces out more and I still have an over bite. I'm on the express plan with an option to go to the full line if I don't get the results the clincheck promised. I paid about 3500 but my insurance chipped in another 2k. I find my mouth gets real dry and the first few days of an aligner are snug. I'm hoping for great results but not sold on it.

I just started tray 3 of 9 on top and bottom. I've seen some movement in the overbite but not my spacing. My spacing is together when trays are in but revert back when taken out.

So I am 4 trays complete of 9 trays. I just changed into my 5 th set last night. I don't see a big difference so I'm going to post my updated picture. On the clincheck I saw the gap close at number 8. So that would be the first of the year. Also wondering if anyone else now snores and when my trays loosen up I get the lisp. I notice my trays are super loose at day 5. I actually changed 1 day early last time because the top was slipping off.
Good job getting through the first tray!! It seems most people say that adjustment phase is the hardest, so hopefully things only improve from here for you. :) Are you finding that you are snacking a lot less due to the hassle of having to remove the trays, brush, etc?
Oh wow, you are fortunate just in general to not be a snacker. I would graze through my entire day if I let myself!
Did the attachments bother your lips or cheeks much when you did have your trays out?
