Braces

[Sir_Froggy]

oh man, I've had braces for maybe a month or something, but I just got them tightened the other day, and it really sucks.

They don't exactly hurt a lot, but I think my dentisit made the wire a lil too long, so when I shift my jaw around, the wire stabs into my cheek and now there is like this flap of skin in my mouth that can come off and then go back on...and it takes me forever to eat an apple. The other day I was trying to eat one, I spent almost 15 minutes eating it.


Oh and flossing is the most confusing thing ever with braces on.

anyone else have braces right now?

you should go in and have them clip that long wire off. it shouldn't be jamming into your cheek like that.

get some dental wax..it's great stuff..two of my kids had braces..and we couldn't live without it.

Ouch! I hope they can trim that a bit for you.

AAHHHH!! the pain sensation is coming back! make it go away!

[QuantumKicker]

Yeah. I was amazed at my results. Before I was afraid to smile and show my teeth, but now they look too perfect to keep hidden away behind my lips :D. Trust me. The pain and agonization are worth it :).
