Well the big day has been and I’m now fitted! I’ve yet to decide if this is a good or a bad thing and what exactly I feel. The fitting.....well not the most pleasant hour of my life. I got a bit of that evil filing down done.....mucho sore - I’m just a big baby who’s never had anything like that before and it was more the sensation I didn’t like. I got my attachments put straight on from the word go with “tray 0” which felt incredibly tight. In all I’ve 7 attachments, 3 on the top right, 2 on top left and 2 on bottom right (none on bottom left – yipeee) one wouldn’t stick very well but it’s on now and I feel it’ll never come off, think they’re bonded with super super glue! They’re almost clear and you really can’t see them when the trays are out but boy are they weird feeling when I’m eating. They feel a bit rough but I’ve never had a filling and mum convinces me they’ll smooth out or at least I’ll get used to it. There s no cheek rubbing.

Trays “one” went in nice and easy....but getting them out again 4 hours later myself for dinner was a completely different ball game! 10 mins to get the bottom tray out and 35 mins, tears, tantrum and a big “WHAT HAVE I DONE” later the top was out.....my dinner was cold, microwaved that then realised it was sore to chew. Saturday night takeaway didn’t go down very well! After dinner and a good clean they were back in – funny how that takes seconds eh?! After that I left them in till morning.

Feeling more confident 10 mins and both trays were out the next moning. Now, Monday morning, I’ve got removal under 3 mins without hurting myself too. The pain of chewing hasn’t completely gone yet but i feel like i can bite down now and its comfier to have the trays in rather than out.

No one at work has noticed although comments made why I’m drinking water rather than the fizzy drinks i’m known for hehehehhe

Oh i thought i’d be a clever stick last night and break a crisp up, so it didn’t need chewing, thought i did quite well until i took trays out for cleaning before bed – top one was full of crisp, gross! You really can’t eat in them!!!!

So he’s to the next year!........29 top trays and 13 bottom! This was even a shock to my ortho who said I had a simple case!
