Tray 1
Hello everyone!
Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful!! I started Tray 1 on 11/25. They sent me 3 out of my 6 trays! When I first put the tray in I thought there is no way this is going to work. It was so incredibly tight and there was a lot of pressure, I thought for sure in a few hours I would be ripping them out. I made sure to take some Ibuprofen before bed and hoped I would sleep through the night. I slept just fine and woke with some soreness but nothing too bad until I had to take them out for the first time. It was hard to get them out and my teeth seemed to be even more sore with them out. I put them back in and the pressure was intense. I kept up on the ibuprofen all day. The first full day and the second day was difficult I couldn't stand having stuff in my mouth constantly it was making me nauseous and my teeth were so sore. The third day was a little better, still sore but no more nausea. I found that I kept closing my mouth weird and talking very weird, it was also difficult to brush my teeth at work as there is always people coming in and out of the bathroom and I felt embarrassed. Today is day four and I could tell in the middle of the night that its getting a lot better. I feel much better today my mouth and speech is pretty much back to normal. Still pretty sore but nothing unbearable. I didnt have to file down any parts of the aligners however I would recommend getting a bit of wax. There is one part where it kind of covers my wisdom tooth where its bothering my cheek, wax would really help if I had any. I am making sure to wear them 22 hours a day as well! Looking forward to switching to tray 2, only 10 more days! very excited for my results!!
