I am 5 months in and my ortho said in 2 more visits I will get them so any advise would be great
Here to your rocking teeth
It's been fine so far, just a little sore, nothing to really complain about. I think I'm kind of use to the pressure in my mouth now. They suggested to me to only take them out when eatting or brushing and to not take them out because of the soreness then put them back in after the sorness. It's not that bad, and it may depend on the angle you have to wear the bands also.
It's not bad just another adjustment

once they focused on it, it took no time for it to come down. The day i went to get my adjustment when they where focusing on the canine it was in place before the next adjustment.
