Day 3 SmileDirectClub

Well, so far so good. Yes, I know it's only been two days. I'm really excited to see what my smile will look like.  On my last post I put a video of my 3d scan. I love watching how my teeth move!

At first I was kind of worried about going out to eat at restaurants and having to constantly brush and floss my teeth, but it's really not that bad. When I insert the aligners throughout the day I can tell my teeth are not as sore as the first time I put them in. Maybe my teeth are already moving a bit?

If I didn't mention before, my treatment plan is for 14 months and 20 trays. I will wear each set of trays for 3 weeks(22 hours a day). After completing the treatment I am supposed to buy a retainer and wear that all day for 6 months and then only at nights after that.

I love how affordable SmileDirectClub( formally SmileCareClub) is. My treatment plan is $1,300.

MY SMileDirectClub journey Night One

Yesterday I got in my very first set of aligners. I have been waiting months to actually get them in and have been only wearing the starter trays. Aright, I didn't wear the starter trays every day like I was supposed to.

Night one

Last night I put in the new real trays for the first time. I was worried at first because I felt like the tray wasn't as easy to put in as the starter trays. I had to really push it in and it was very tight. I can see why people don't want to have to take the trays out a lot to eat. It's kind of hard to get in at first. I haven't been wearing my starter trays every day and putting the real ones in felt totally different.

The real trays, unlike the starter trays, are much different. They are made up of a thicker plastic and they fit more snug in your mouth. On my starter trays I didn't really need the "chewies" to push the trays up into my teeth. Chewies are these little foam cylinders they send you to chew up and down on when inserting the trays for a perfect, snug fit.  

I didn't eat any snacks last night, that's for sure. When I woke up this morning I couldn't really tell they were on. I didn't feel much pressure on my teeth. As soon as I took them out to eat breakfast, I could immediately tell my teeth were tender.  Taking them out was kind of uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't too bad. I just have to get used to them.  

Today is my last day at work, so I have a feeling my co-workers are going to bring snacks. I don't know if taking them out to eat a snack or two will be worth it. I guess we will see.
