A week into the third set of aligners and the tightness has finally waned. I was surprised it took so long, but with my teeth being pushed, pulled and torqued, I suppose it takes a while for movement. I find I am still playing with the aligners with my tongue; it feels like flavorless gum attached to my teeth.
***Hmmm - I wonder if they could impregnate mint flavoring into the aligners so they always taste good?***
I've been thinking ahead to my vacation at the end of the month. I am scheduled to change aligners early in the vacation week. I'm wondering whether I should keep the old aligners in for an extra week for vacation comfort. I am leaning toward "lumping it" and keeping to my schedule. Why torture myself? The discomfort is not really that bad, it will keep me from stuffing my face the entire vacation (the Invisalign Diet is still in full force and effect), and I want the whole Invisalign process over as soon as possible.
I don't really expect my entire course of treatment to be over in 44 weeks:
-my ortho said up front that I should expect refinements, bringing me up to about 1 year
-I have veneers on my top 4 incisors (front teeth) which may need to be replaced once treatment is over. This will mean new molds, the wait for the aligners, and possible setbacks...
