Hi everyone have been wondering about the swelling.It's been about 6 weeks now and along my jaws are still pretty swollen.Nothing like at the beginning but was hoping by now would start to go down to close to normal.Am I just jumping the gun or is the normal process.If it is then looks like they will be making a couple of masks...

    Early

    6 weeks is probably still early.  Don't worry about the mask.  Once a week they double check everything and daily you are lined up with their machine.
