I was a small meal every 4 hours kind of eater before, but, no more! I eat 3 times a day, sometimes just 2...the flossing and brushing every time is a surprising amount of work. But absolutely necessary! I've heard about bad breath, dark spots and mouth sores but not had any of those troubles, and I'm sure it's due to diligent brushing and flossing!
I only discontinued use of the aligner for 24 hours, to give the tooth a break...it was way too painful to put the aligner back in anyway...and I can't sleep if one whole side of my face is throbbing and stinging. It did seem to help and the tooth is not quite as sensitive as it had been, although not back to normal yet.
