Second Week

Week 2

 I am finished with the second week! Here is an image of my teeth at the end of week 2.

I can't believe I am starting my third week, after this week I get to put my second aligner in, which I am excited and a little nervous about because I wonder if the pain will be the same as when I first put tray 1 in.

The second week of wearing them was much better, I have become a pro at taking them off and putting them back on. During this second week I do not have any pain, only when I eat are my teeth sensitive, I still can't have any bread or hard food. I tried eating chicken, and that bothered my teeth, so I have been eating mashpotatoes and soft meat, like salmon.

I do have some discomfort wearing them sometimes, and I think its because my bite is changing slowly. When I used to bite, my upper teeth would come out a bit more then the bottom, but when I softly bite down wearing the aligners, they bite down perfectly straigh and on top of each other.

Every time I take my alingers off I clean them before putting them back in. I am still cleaning them with a soft bristle tooth brush. I think it's important to brush the inside and outside of them and rinse them with water. I noticed if you do not clean the inside and outside of them a small grime build up occurs.
