Congratulations! Straightening your teeth helps so much with self confidence... Not only that but having a proper bite can mean the difference between keeping your own teeth into old age and dentures!
Kristen,
I am on day 3 and as uncomfortable as I have been with the digging in, loose teeth, and even sinus troubles - I must say... These are SO SO SO much better than the normal braces I wore for 4 years when I was younger!!! The brackets constantly made my cheeks bleed. I cut my tongue on the wires trying to get food out of the while eating. Every two weeks I was in for tightening and spent a day in agony as a result. I broke brackets and wires and cement came loose on the banded teeth. Basically I spent 4 years being tortured and the end result was that my teeth were better but no where near where they should/could be. So now I'm back in braces and I really wish I had done invisaligm in the first place!
