Yeah, I totally get what you mean about the “brain can’t forget” thing. I’m about 8 months in with mine and it’s mostly just part of my mouth now, but...
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve actually had some luck with those drugstore whitening strips. Not the fancy dentist trays (too pricey for me)...
