I unfortunately was proven to be gravely incorrect. If Smile Express is something you’re interested in, you’re really going to have to remember to make it a part of your routine. There would be mornings I’d wake up, take them out to brush my teeth, eat breakfast, get ready for work, and then I’d leave the house and only remember I’d forgotten to put them back in while I was on the train. So, it takes a lot of muscle memory to add them into your daily life, especially when you have to take them out at work for lunch.

Outside of the memory struggles in the beginning, the actual wear of the retainers are nice and easy. They don’t feel too constraining and each two week switch out for new ones fit snug enough that I felt secure wearing them but also wasn’t concerned about headaches. I think the biggest struggle for me personally was the new found lisp when wearing them. If you work a job that requires you to talk a lot during the day or during meetings, that’s something you’ll have to take into consideration because I did find myself struggling. There is a package that they offer though that is specifically for at-night use, so if you’re not willing to spend a few months at work like that then that can be an option for you. We’re also more aware of ourselves than we think because while I could hear the lisp, many of my coworkers told me they didn’t notice it (some did notice but said it wasn’t something to worry about).
