Quick Update - Tray 4
krystalwrightApril 1, 2014
I am almost at the conclution of my 4th tray. I put my 5th set in this week. So far, not to much of a change. I have noticed that my one major gap is getting better (making room for the back tooth) and the opposite side growing in gaps as well. I can really tell a difference when I floss.. the flosser glides right through with no issues.
I have not experienced much discomfort or anything along those lines. I must say, when I first started I was nervous because I read horror stories of "feeling like your ripping your teeth out".. scared me to death!
Needless to day, I am barely sore for 2 days then I am fine. Its such a relief. If my who treatment is like this then I'll be able to deal with it.
Currently about to start set 5 of 38 for top and 5 of 28 for bottom.. progress...

Clinching
krystalwrightFebruary 17, 2014
Perhaps a few of you could provide some advice. I have noticed over the past 4-5 mornings I wake up a little sore and I believe it's because I am clinching my teeth at night. I don't think I had this problem before. All I know is that when I wake up in the morning I feel a sense of relief from my mouth, as if I have eased up on the clinching.
Anyone else dealing/dealt with this? If so.. any advice?
thanks!

I had that problem but, unfortunately, I cannot say that I dealt with it. I just stopped using the Invisalign type of retainer and that mostly fixed it :(. I wonder if anyone else has managed to stop. I can say, clenching did help my Invisalign progress very quickly--just at the expense of comfort and bite problems.
Watch out for a posterior open bite if you continue to clench, but for now, your bite is going to be changing so drastically there's not much point in thinking about it until your treatment is closer to done.
