Ouch

Oh. My. God. is all i have to say. I was awake a lot last night with tooth pain from the invisalign. I also had to pee a ton from drinking all the water trying to combat the severe dry mouth i have. When I took out the aligners to brush my teeth one of the attachments came off. i think it’s the same one that my dentist also broke off and had to replace yesterday when he demonstrated how to take the aligners off. I called and left a message and hopefully i can see him next week to have it replaced.
It is so uncomfortable to take the aligners out, it almost feels like all my teeth are being pulled out. My teeth hurt the entire time the aligners are out and they feel loose. When i put them back in the top goes in easy and relieves the pain but the bottom row HURTS when it snaps back in and I always need to take some advil afterwards.
I am eating a soft diet like soup and rice. It seems all my teeth are more sensitive to cold so I have taken to drinking warm water which is soothing.
But the worst part about today? i discovered that i cannot bite my nails!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH. I have been biting my nails my entire life and i am 31. I don’t even own nail clippers. My son learned to bite his nails from me and who i am to tell him not to do it. I bought a nail file at work today to file away a chipped nail but this is killing me!!!!! i will definitely be yelling at my dentist about this next time i see him! Not to worry, he will get a laugh about it, haha.
i cannot wait until i get used to these!
