I am still blown away at how you cannot really see my braces in photos. Three cheers for clear brackets and white wires!
Today I have my one month appointment, my first appointment since having these buggers put on. It's been quite a month. Getting them on was a breeze, and my jaw hasn't been particularly sore or anything. (According to my daughter, that comes later with the rubber bands.) And I LOVE that people can't see them from a distance or in most photos.
The tough part thus far - other than not being able to really kiss my fiance, sigh - has been the pesky hooks for those rubber bands. I guess I have a tender mouth because without wax, it feels like there's barbed wire fencing on my teeth. Good news is, I've worked out a system. I only eat soft foods for breakfast and for snacks, sometimes even for lunch. The less chewing the less irritation. I spend a lot of time putting in wax, taking out wax, and brushing my teeth. It's a pain but here's the good news...
I can already tell my teeth are moving! My bottom teeth were encroaching on one another and I was inching back to my childhood overbite. Eak. And now, I can already tell that in six months, I will have a brand new smile.
So every little catch of my cheeks is totally worth it. It'll all be done in six months!
I still love you, Fusion Orthodontics!
