Right > Left

Turn 13:

I have noticed that there are noticeable outward movements from my upper palate. The odd thing, however, is that the teeth on my right side have moved more rapidly than my teeth on the left side. For one thing this is good because of the movement. On the other hand, this is odd because when the RPA is turned, an equal amount of force should be applied to both sides. Hence, the two sides should move the same distances.  Nevertheless, it has only been 13 turns -- not even half way yet -- so I am not going to worry yet.

I tried to eat a tuna wrap (yum) about an hour ago and my upper teeth started to hurt.
This was the second time (the first being the first few days of getting the RPA) feeling this type of pain. Oddly enough, however, the pain was only on the right side.
I suppose this is the side effect of having faster movements on  one side.
As of now, I'm going to have to start avoiding hard food and not chewing on the right side :(
