I had a gap in my front teeth, so I could witness close up how fast they separated after removing a tray. Sometimes within two to three minutes a small gap had reappeared.
I like Punkin's stretching analogy. When those teeth are sore after starting a new tray, taking the tray out and putting them back in soon after can be painful.
I would always put my new tray on in the evening, so my teeth had all night to move (while I slept). This minimizes any removing of the tray in the first, say, 10 hours, which I think is the most painful. But breakfast/lunch is still a bear that first day!
Just remind yourself how you'll look in a year or so, take an advil if it's too bad, and trudge on.
