So, I started to notice that my gum line started to hurt on the bottom in the back on both sides of my jaw. I thought this was kind of weird. I only found out what the problem was when I went to take my trays out for an afternoon snack.I stuck my thumbs in the back to pop the trays off and it was exactly where the pain was coming from. I don't remember scratching these areas with either of my fingernails. I think it is because this is the same area I have used since beginning of this process.
Since the attachments could be in precarious locations, you will find an area on the aligners where it is the easiest to remove them from your teeth. Sort of the way USA Gold Medalist Hannah Kearney used the same line in the Women's Moguls that she knew would get her the best result in the Vancouver Olympics.
However, sometimes that line doesn't work and you have difficulties like Canada's Kristi Richards, who felt the pain and crashed before finishing. A different line might have helped her out and allowed her to get to the end.
Yes, I am going to have to look for other ways to get these aligners out, but maybe return to the one that worked the best at a later date.
Pain Level - 4
Dedication Level - 8 (had to take them out longer today for a Callback)
Irritation Level - 4 (and on Valentine's Day to boot)
