Day 5 - It's getting better

I swear I am not a baby, and sometimes I do not notice my aligners are even in, but sometimes I feel pain still! It's just certain teeth, so maybe in my old age of nearly 36, they are just resistant to moving or something. Thanks to Adam for telling me that drinking alcohol probably wouldn't hurt, so long as I don't make this an all the time habit. I'd rather have them in, so I think I will shoot for lighter colored drinks with a cleaning as soon as possible after. I have to live my life, after all. I swear I've already lost a bit of weight, as my clothes feel loser, and my nails look fab. I went for a manicure on Saturday to celebrate my new nails. It's amazing that I don't miss it. I'm getting used to the lack of snacking, but it's interesting to note just how much I would have snacked were it not for wearing the aligners. I guess awareness is the key, even though I already knew that lesson. I can hardly wait to progress to the next step. Since I only have the next two aligners in my possession, naturally I tried to compare Aligner #1 to Aligner #3 to see how much I'd progress. Apparently it doesn't work that fast, because I couldn't really see a difference. Hard to believe it will only be six months for the entire treatment, but I can't argue with the computer. I'm just glad that I finally took the plunge.
