How thin are the aligners?

#1 Post by sneakers321 »

I haven't actually seen the aligners, and am just wondering if they are thin or thick. I had a dream the other night that they were very thick and I couldn't close my teeth together :shock:
I'm sure that is not the case, but am just wondering... I should be getting mine within the next 10 days.
