I have always had a slight overbite and I finally...

I have always had a slight overbite and I finally decided to do something for myself and fix it. Being older I wasn't sure if I wanted to do braces with such a little fix. I am on phase 0 right now, I understand the importance of this phase with making sure it fits correctly but I do not feel very happy to have to wear the appliance for 2 to 3 weeks when it's not doing anything for movement. But it is part of the process. Also the only thing I Find that I do not like that much is when both appliances top and bottom are on I feel I cannot close my mouth completely down, Which is slightly uncomfortable, I feel like my mouth is open slightly even when I bite down....I feel that the plastic is too thick? Maybe this is how it is supposed to be? Other than that I'm really having no problem wearing them except I like to drink coffee all day long, and I find it nearly impossible to take them out every time I take a drink of coffee.

Day 2 of phase 1a

The pressure isn't to bad and Im really good at keeping them in as much as I should. I put these in last night went to bed and straight to work this morning. I am a server so I talk all day to my customers, ( I was really skeptical at first about wearing these at work, but honestly I don't think anyone really notices, and when I do tell someone they say they had no idea?) but on top of that I am training this week so had to talk twice as much today, not a good thing as my inside edges of the bottom tray was sharp as hell!! Didn't really notice it much until I was at work today and it tore my tongue up. It feels so raw :( I took them out at noon for about an hour and as soon as I got home today I filed them myself and buffed them some. They seem to feel much better but I wont know for sure until my tongue heals, I applied some dental wax over the back of the tray were it rubs my tongue and that feels so much better right now!! So far that has been my only bad experience. There was a slight lisp at the first but im getting that down. With phase 0 it seemed to last about a week but I guess it just takes getting use to. I haven't had any movement yet because im just starting, so not going to post an updated picture yet. I am going to post some pictures of my teeth though without the clear correct in just so I can have before and after pictures to compare :) I will post new updated pictures as soon as I start each new tray just to see if there has been movement and when. My profile picture is when I first got phase O and with clear correct on.
