Director Ed Lake says agency will seek supplemental funding. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services, facing a more than $100 million shortfall in its current fiscal year budget, announced $45 million in reductions the agency is beginning to make.
When I first got invisalign, I felt an uncomfortable pressure and I had a lisp for about a day and a half. The only pain I felt was the adhesive my dentist put on my teeth. He put too much and it was out of the invisalign and scraped on my lip, but it wore down. The invisalign itself didn't really hurt.
I'm sure there is a reason why your dentist is recommending 3 weeks for Invisalign, however even for adults generally 2 weeks is sufficient. As far as discomfort, it is often the case that Invisalign is more comfortable given that only a certain amount of movement is prescribed by each aligner and the movements are very controlled.
