I wouldn't even describe it as pain. I'd say mild discomfort? The only real pain I felt was when taking them on or off for the first few times of a new tray.

[quote="badbraces"]Aleardy 1+ month with braces, just changed elastics and the wire last 25th. My dentist still insisted not having my premolars removed! :( She says to wait for 3-4 months to see movement of teeth coming in. I really don't want to wait that long! I've been dreaming of havi...

I wanna first say THANK YOU for having a forum like this for adults to reach out to each other. What a wonderful thing to have! I will try to keep this as short as possible while also expressing my concerns. Thank you in advance for reading! I am 29 and I always had VERY bad insecurities with my tee...
