Maybe try putting the new aligners in on a Friday night, so you don't have to talk much for the first few days. Maybe you already do this.lomdogs wrote:You are right John37, it is worse when I talk a lot and unfortunately, teaching 21 first graders requires me to talk non-stop! Thanks a lot for your advice.
Finally got them... now why did I want straight teeth?

Quarter way there!
Yep, I am one-quarter of the way there, and I am so happy with the way my teeth are looking. I am also on an even numbered tray which (for some odd reason) are the trays that don't cut up my mouth, so I am in a happier mood. 
I compared my first tray to this 6th one and was so pleased to see how much my front tooth has moved. I was most bothered by the front tooth leaning over the other front tooth. Now it's almost straight and not leaning over it at all. I have begun to see other teeth standing up straight, that I never even knew were leaning as well! It's so cool! 
I still don't like the feel of these and of course the cuts inside my mouth, but I am so glad that it's working and that I am getting closer to being finished with this!!
