Week 2 Much better!

[VeggieQueen]

Hi Guys,

I am so glad I found this forum! I have received great support and good advice from many of you. I am into my second week on tray 1 and the canker sores are gone. I still use the ortho wax for a few spots, but my mouth seems to have calmed down and I can talk with them in which means I will be able to lecture with them and save my down time for eating. I am a much happier camper.

I wish my dentist would have warned me though, and steered me in the direction of the ortho wax and the canker sore medication (Kanka is my favorite) before I spent a miserable week....

Glad you are feeling better Veggie. Only thing I would say is that you really shouldn't need wax or medication if your aligners are trimmed correctly. Next time you go maybe ask your ortho to check them over for any snags. Sometimes the robots don't do such a good trimming job, or sometimes the mould has had a tiny bit on that means that all the trays have an uncomfortable spot. Your ortho should be able to remove them for you.

My ortho was very clear that your mouth shouldn't get sore. There can be tenderness in the teeth that are being moved, but anything else just means that something isn't right, so maybe talk to your ortho about this. Anyway, glad you are feeling better.
