My problem is that I want things to have happened yesterday. I am so impatient and know that I am not going to see results overnight but it still doesn't stop me from taking millions of pictures of my teeth and comparing them to day 1.
Today I am 4 days in to my 3rd set of trays. I am really suprised on how little pain I have been in considering the stories I have read. I do still have quite a bit of sensitivity on my right side but nothing too unbearable. Maybe I'm not as big a wimp as I thought?! The first day or so the trays feel a bit tight but that to me is a good sign and means that my teeth are moving.
My last post I wrote was when I had my attachments put on and then most of them fell off by the next morning! Cue two more trips back to the Smile Boutique since then and my attachments haven't budged. It smelt like nail polisher remover being painted on my teeth when I had them redone so maybe he has used stronger stuff this time. Like I've said before, he's not much of a talker so I don't know what actually happened. He reassured me that attachments falling off are just one of them things and can happen and then got right on with putting new attachments on.
One thing I have learnt so far is that you really shouldn't drink anything but water when wearing the trays, especially alcohol. I know that's basic text book stuff but you think oh one time won't hurt..... On Saturday night we had a friends party and I didn't want to keep taking my trays out every 5 minutes to have a drink, never mind having to clean them every time after. But I really should have! They were totally gross the next day and no matter how much I cleaned them they still looked disgusting. Luckily my new ones were due to be put in on Tuesday - I did it Monday - as I just couldn't bear these ones much longer.
I some how managed to slightly crack tray 2 towards the end. I'm not entirely sure how but I feel like I clamp down on them at night time which I try to stop myself from doing but it is maybe due to how my bite is shifting.
I have plucked up the courage to show you a picture of some of my attachments. On the left shows how the attachments look on the side with the trays in and on the right without.
Although I much prefer the look of them without the trays in, I am so used to wearing them now that it feels weird not to have them in. Eating is also a bit of an issue with attachments. Anything you really have to bite in to, like a sandwich etc, just gets stuck in them! Its not pleasant and sort of takes the enjoyment out of food. I am a big foodie so this is a sad time.
