Charm2017,

Interesting comment about the trays during treatment. I'll ask the dentist about this.

So how did you do this? During treatment, did they have fluoride in them? Were you also told to use them at home, with fluoride?

BTW, the dentist made me a device that I'm supposed to wear during treatment. It keeps my upper and lower teeth separated, and it has a hole I'm supposed to keep my tongue in so it's out of the way. Did you use one of these?
