Hi all -
Just posting some photos of week 2. There is not any noticeable changes on my teeth being "straighter" (I think), but on my open bite things looks slightly less open Pretty happy I see something different so quickly. Obviously I have a long way to go. I can't wait until the top arch is straight.

I think around day 5/6 I felt like I could eat a bit more normally. The front of my teeth are still sensitive - but the back molars feel fine. I was able to eat some harder foods by day 8, and definitely not in any pain

I can definitely see movement already! Your bite is considerably less open! It's amazing how quickly these "torture devices" can move things along! Congrats!
