Starting the second aligner
Well hard to believe it's been two weeks. I never thought the first aligner would feel loose, but utlimately it did. Tonight I put on the second aligner (of 13 on top and 15 on bottom). I was shocked at how tight it is. I honestly do not remember the first aligner being this tight. I'm glad I'm going to be going to bed with this on. I had no idea that it would hurt this much from the get go. Also, the bottom aligner on the left side feels like it's just not quite right. I guess I got spoiled after the first one starting to feeling loose. After all, the dentist's office told me that the first aligner would be the worst, but I'm feeling like this one definitely is. I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, so I really hope that by Friday (when vacation starts in earnest) that it doesn't hurt anymore. Also, this one did not feel as comfortable, so I did have to apply some orthodontic wax to the bottom to prevent any irritation to my inner lip. I'm glad that I'm moving on to the next stage, but I just didn't think it would be this challenging. On the flip side, my nails look great and my clothes are definitely looser from the lack of snacking. :)

I found my second set to be like this too, I think it is because I just forgot how the first set were, and when they got loose, just forgot how tight they first are.
If wearing Invisalign braces you have to know about the new product on the market: BrytonPick - FLOSS In Seconds. It is a string-free, reusable and portable flossier that will save you allot of time on a daily flossing routine. Flossing after every single snack is now discreet, easy and very fast....
