Comparing trays 1 & 3
With great excitement and anticpation, I reached tray 3 today!
The first two weeks seemed to take forever, the second tray (or second two weeks) felt like they passed faster.
Because I could feel tray three was tighter when I put them in (because tray two was really lose by the end of the two weeks), I woke up this morning, anticipating pain when removing tray three. To my dismay, still no pain, no discomfort. Ugh! I certainly hope my past month hasn't been a waste of time. I know I am not supposed to see any visible changes until around tray 6, soooo I guess I'll no panic too much. Doc says the the first three trays are supposed to be working on moving my front buck teeth up and out. I looked at my teeth and compared trays 1 and 3. I tried to look for even the slightest micro change. Nope, nada nothing, I don't even feel a difference. Did I get placebo aligners?! ha ha! Onward to my next two weeks, then I get my first IPR.
Cheers to all of our tray 3'rs out there!!

Correcting overbite and crowding: Tray 2 - Day 2
Okay so still no pain or discomfort with my aligners. I called my dentist and voiced my concern that I am still not experiencing any pain or pressure, so I am questioning if the aligners are seated correctly or working at all. hmm...
I do feel a "little" sensitivity on my front teeth. The dentist assured me that the teeth that are sensitive is tracking to my clincheck. Anyone else in the early stages of their aligners also not experiencing any pain or discomfort?
I can say that I was told the aligner "chewies" weren't really worth bying, but I must say, once I started using the chewies my aligners seemed feel like they fit much better! So worth using in my opinion, and they are inexpensive so why not :-)

Tray 1 - Day Four with aligners in
Family asked why I waited intil I was 53 (soon to be 54 in a few days), and commented that they can't see the aligners. So I smiled (I never show my teeth in pictures), so I smiled big so they could see (those pictures posted).
Still no pain (yet), but I still feel the same level of pressure (slight) as on day two. The pressure is on the left side (mostlly lower).
I forgot (again) that I had my aligners in and bit down on a plastic water bottle cap to try to open it (bad habit I have). I need to be more careful! Perhaps when the pain comes I won't forget I am wearing them.
I took my aligners out in semi-public today for lunch. No sensitivity to biting or chewing anything crunchy or chewy yet. Removing the aligners while I was out and about was not a hassle because I had my kit with me (I am still looking for a cute little girly bag), however I don't care much for the string of slobber that accompanies the tray pull out (lovely). Tip: keep bottled water and floss in your car for quick rinses.
I hope you all had a great day.

Provider Review
Dr. Jerome Lee
I have been a patient of Dr. Jerome Lee for 15 years. He and his staff are a easy to work with. Dr. Lee is very personable and funny. and more importantly professional. Although he has proper equipment to do his job well, I think he could use a bit of technology (gadgets) and update to the 21st century, but I know how expensive that can be. It is probably a good thing that he doesn't have all of the wizardry because he is able to keep his prices reasonable.
