Well, it's been two days since I got the attachments, and honestly they're not so bad. I can definitely feel the pressure on my teeth, and I'm excited for that. I'm anxious to see some actual progress (even though I know it won't be for a while yet), and if they help, I guess that's a good thing.
The one thing that I've noticed is that my teeth are actually more comfortable now with the trays in. The attachments themselves are kind of rough (they're various shapes, not like a nice round glob), so they sort of scratch your cheek when your trays aren't in. I read somewhere that the wax they give you for normal braces can help, but I've only had them out to eat, so it hasn't been so bad.
I've kind of found myself bothered more when I talk (sort of like talking when food's stuck to your teeth), but I was talking to a good friend yesterday and she swears she didn't notice until I told her. And, actually, it's sort of fun when I have told people about it -- They're mostly excited and admit that they've considered it for various reasons. It's not often that anyone is jealous of my dental procedures ("Oh, you chipped a tooth and need a crown... That bites"), so I'm a little amused.
