Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Went to get my next 4 trays Aug 10th, but I had been wearing it 3 wks since I typically like to wear the trays 11-12 days instead of the full 2 wks. They had essentially done all the work they could do and had not been "tight" at all and were sagging over the "buttons" glued on the 3-4 teeth so they can "lock on" to my teeth.
The dentist saw a 1mm sag on the bottom of my front teeth and you could clearly see that you could push it up with my finger if you pushed hard, but I said that showed that it had done all it could do. They made me wait a week until I could get my trays and told me to bite down on a popsicle stick or Qtip but after biting for an hour every time I put them back in after eating they would said the second I took the Qtip out.
I went back in a week and they gave me my next 4. Needless to say when I inserted the next tray it felt right and was a match for my teeth. I pretty much felt I wasted a week.
I just now put in #12 and there was no pain at all this time. That's a first. I had even had #11 out for a few hours late at night too for the past few days. 2 wks of this one and I'll be half done with my 24 trays scheduled to end now on 3/1/10.
