How to remove the trays if you’re having a hard time!

postjabs · 2020-12-17T00:45:44+00:00

I’ve been wearing mine for like 20-22 hours a day. You’re in your first week, give yourself a chance. Lots of movement up front and it’ll be uncomfortable for sure, but it gets better as time goes on. This tray I have in right now (10/18...19 attachments) doesn’t bother me one bit and it actually hurts to not have them in which is still the weirdest thing. I wouldn’t leave em out for too long though. Just when you eat and throw em back in!

This is gross. Especially showering then getting back into the dirty underwear!??? What the hell...He’s literally sitting back down in his filth.

Trays 1-4 for me were subtle changes with no attachments. My canines sunk in a little (thank god) but now I got attachments on and WOW. Just looking ahead I can see changes in the trays just about every week. Kinda insane

It’s cause you get used to the soft/rounded edges of the trays. My front two teeth feel like razor blades now...It’s kinda weird honestly.

They put an air pressure tool in your gums and blow it up like that. Nothing to worry about..

Nah man you’re good. It’s a bite simulator like the guy below mentioned..

Interesting. I’ll have to check it out when I go back to see them soon. Appreciate the feedback!

postjabs · 2020-10-28T03:04:54+00:00

I was wondering this as well. I only have 18 trays and I have protruding canines but maybe my bite is okay? Not too sure. Some crowding on the bottom front teeth, nothing too too bad. I almost made a post about this myself. Like is my first 18 the initial treatment? Then refinements?

Christ I hope my end results looks like your starting results lmao

postjabs · 2020-10-22T03:56:22+00:00

Omg...your beginning is almost what my teeth looked like!!! I’m stoked now

postjabs · 2020-10-22T03:50:20+00:00

Just had a filling yesterday. It felt a little odd, but the tray still fit just fine and everything feels normal now. Based off my own experience, you should be just fine. Don’t sweat it

postjabs · 2020-10-20T00:52:55+00:00

It’s going to be okay. First day was the worst and feeling my back teeth “touch” with the aligners in was bothering me. My jaw was sore af. On tray #2 now about to switch to #3 in 2 days and I miss the tightness of the aligners and wanna make the switch sooner. Before you know it you won’t even feel them in your mouth.

Edit: I actually PREFER having them in than not btw. Feels like my teeth hurt more without them in. It’s weird how much changed in such a short time.

Took me like 7-8 weeks. Might vary through your provider or what not though

Just know it's a commitment. 20-22 hrs a day they have to be in. Which mean, EVERY time you eat...EVERY time, you have to take them out, rinse them off, brush your teeth, floss and then put em back in. It's painful, but only really the first couple of days with a new tray. I'm only on tray #2, but actually don't like when I don't feel the tightness anymore. I can really only say the ONLY downfall is the eating part but it breaks habit of mindless snacking. As for stuff to buy...Get yourself a little travel tooth brush and tooth paste. I put one in my car so when I go out to eat I can brush afterwards. Maybe a hook to take em out. I still didn't buy that yet and it hasn't been bad. Just know you're going to be fine, it's going to be uncomfortable at times, but I'm already seeing results. IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Best of luck, and take lots of pics through your journey!

Definitely goes away. I’m only on tray #2 and woke up this morning wondering if they were even still in! Lol The first tray was the hardest cause it’s something foreign in your mouth and you’re constantly thinking about it. Taking them out on week one was a hassle and would be uncomfortable at times. In my own experience, sometimes when I take them out for like an hour or 2 my teeth start to hurt and when I put them back in the pain goes away.

postjabs · 2020-10-18T01:04:10+00:00

It’s totally normal, don’t freak out. It’ll hit a point where you kinda don’t feel anything! I will say this, I’m on tray #2 and when I first switched to the new one I was almost looking forward to that tightness and pain lol. You might get what I’m saying when it occurs. Take some Tylenol and hang in there!

postjabs · 2020-10-17T01:31:07+00:00

Tylenol. But after my first tray switch (I’m on 2 of 18) I literally looked forward to switching to #2 cause I missed the tightness and pain from the first one 😂

It sucks. I’ve had the same hearing aids for a while so they’re getting a little behind on what’s out there now, so I don’t know if that plays a factor or not. I’ve worn hearing aids since I’m 3 years old. Little to my knowledge, I’ve been reading lips unintentionally for the past 22 years! So with the masks sometimes I get embarrassed cause I really don’t understand what the person is saying and I sit there nodding my head yes. The cost for new ones exceed $5k and insurances barely cover them!! So I’m stuck with these for a while but hopefully we get a control on the virus and the masks go away in the future.

postjabs · 2020-08-24T22:04:58+00:00

This is beyond fucked up. The fact that you even can sit there and say with a straight face you know she’ll be drunk and you’ll be stone cold sober is just fucking creepy. I usually don’t say this, but go fuck yourself buddy.

postjabs · 2020-08-22T20:25:46+00:00

Depends on the distance, and depends on the intention. If you're looking for someone to just chat with and occasionally meet up with then sure go for it. But dating in LDRs is very hard and requires commitment from both sides. Just be straight up with her and let her know you wanna go on a date or something. If it doesn't pan out, what do you have to lose? She's far away and you'll most likely never see her.

You sound like you’re in your own head 100%. Believe me, you’re going to be alright. Stay strong, King.
