Day 1

Well I have had the aligners in for about 3 hours now. I’m not feeling the discomfort that i’ve read about but they sure hurt when my dentist put them on, especially the bottom set. I had 7 attachments put on the top and 9 on the bottom, more to be added at later dates. He filed back 3 spots.
I don’t have the lisp that i’ve read about but my mouth feels sooooo dry. I feel like i have more spit in my mouth but my tongue feels dry as a desert as do my lips. I’m drinking lots of water but it isn’t helping. Even with all the attachments i keep pushing up on the top set because i feel it slipping. i’m sure i will get used to it. At dinner I had a hard time getting the aligners out which was to be expected but I didn’t expect it to be that hard. It was a little uncomfortable when I brushed. When I put them back in they HURT! especially the bottom, so I finally took some advil.
