Aligner #2 (week 3 and 4 of 66)

Week 3:

I decided to switch from aligner #1 to aligner #2 at night instead of in the morning. I figured that since I knew my teeth were going hurt, I might as well be sleeping during the first 10 hours of having a  new tray in.  I also took some Advil before I went to bed, knowing that my mouth is going to hurt for a day or two with the new tray. When I put my new aligner in, I noticed that there were small gaps between my aligner and my teeth. I am sure that this is because throughout the next two weeks my teeth are going to be shifting into these gaps. 

Week 4:

My teeth aren't hurting as much and the gaps that I noticed the week before are not really there anymore. I think this is the real first aligner to the process. I am thinking that the first aligner that you have does not really shift any teeth but it just gets you used to wearing it all the time and also to get used to talking with it in. 

Below is a picture of my teeth after wearing aligner #2. (4 of 66 weeks into the process) you can see the "buttons" on my fang teeth. I have a total of 12 "buttons". There are six on the top and 6 on the bottom. There are three on each side of my mouth.

It is weird to see my teeth like is, because I feel like they are a lot more crooked now than when I started. I am trusting this process, but I am very anxious to be done with it.
