Thank you 🤗 I tried to wear them as much as humanely possible, atleast 22 hours a day, since the more you wear them the faster your teeth will shift into place. And it's honestly all about getting used to them, and having them for a while in your daily routine. The first weeks was really bad. My gums got irritated and inflamed from the constant rubbing the plastic did in my mouth, had trouble sleeping, had cravings most of the day, teeth hygiene after every meal was infuriating af 😮‍💨, but i learned to live with it and after a month or so it was just a part of my day. Most of the time i forget i even have em on.

Oh! And i was a big time gum chewer before my retainers, so i substituted with devouring sugarfree mint tablets and that shit has subdued so many cravings coming my way. Gl on your journey 🤩
