3rd Tray

So I haven't done an update in a while. However, I am now on my 3rd tray (ouch...really, really tight). I have no issues with soreness because I always change the aligners at night and prior to doing so, I take 2 Tylenol Extra Strength. My treatment requires that I wear each set for 2 weeks and I will be done in about 3 months.

I can say, so far I have no complaints really; aside from the rough edges that cause a tad bit of irritation...nothing the file couldn't fix. I can tell a difference in the place where I needed the most focus on.

I will post pictures a little later.

Aligners Came!

I received my first 3 sets of aligners on 10/01/2016. Before popping them in, I took 2 Tylenol Extra Strength. They were really tight going on. I had no issues with them not fitting or being too loose.

The next day, there was a little bit of soreness...specifically around the 3 teeth that I'm trying to move. However, it was nothing unbearable. I'm assuming the Tylenol had a lot to do with that. I did have to file my top retainer just a little due to jaw/cheek discomfort. Other than that, as of today, everything is going good.

Please be cautious about using Tylenol! Tylenol in excess is very dangerous for the liver. Consider using Advil instead!! It's been know to cause coma and death in over doses. I don't know about long term use but I do know ibuprofen isn't nearly as dangerous.
