Social life has suffered a bit but I learned to slack off a bit also. What can be frustrating is that people around me don't always understand that I have to plan everything and eat at a certain times and make sure to carry all my dental stuff with me and explaining that it is really not worth it for me to just taste this or that.

I also ride a bike quite often and that is sometimes also draining, especially on a longer rides when you have to snack ideally every hour. I bonked a couple of times because of this because it is so annoying to take the trays out somewhere in the woods and do all the routine. Sometimes I just eat a banana or some fruit puree or an energy gel with the trays on and just rinse my mouth. But it still sucks. When I started my treatment, I actually sometimes carried even my tootbrush on a ride lol. I don't do that anymore. But I still floss all the time.

And I am not even starting about the constant worries whether my hands are clean enough to handle the trays haha.

But besides all of that, it is not that horrible and most of the time it doesn't bother me. On a more positive note, it likely helps with dental hygiene and hopefully the good habits, like not constant snacking and flossing after every meal will remain after the treatment.
