No, I don't get my braces for another two weeks. So I'm curious as to if this is a normal thing.

Ok. So, I just want to know if this is normal.

I got an extraction last week, and ever since then I've gotten at least 6 canker sores right around that area. It's grossing me out, and it's really painful.

Has this happened to any of you? I'm curious if it's a normal reaction to an extraction.

that's exciting.
i get my braces on may 18.
and it feels like it's taking forever to get there.
i had an extraction done yesterday.
made the process finally feel real..
