Progress

I am so happy with my progress - especially since yesterday was National Roast Day, apparently, and, as I have had my aligners in for almost two weeks now, my teeth aren't tender, and finally, FINIALLY, I could eat the crackling - crackling isn't fun when you have to suck it.

I'm still getting a split on every aligner, in the same place, being between my right front tooth and the one next to it (to the right). My orthodontist says it is because of the way I am removing them ,but, there is only one way I can remove them, and I be really gentle now on purpose.

Also, some info for yall, if you get a split in your aligner. If it's a straight split and not gaping like a V, it's fine to keep going. If it's a V, an open split, cut the aligner right through at the split, and insert it as two pieces for the time you have remaining. I had to ask about this as I was going away and my previous aligner, which I had to take with me incase I lost my current ones, had a big V in it.

Anyway, I am changing my aligners on Thursday, so 4 days away, and I'll keep you updated :D
