Good idea. My son is teething and we use frozen washcloth to sooth his discomfort.

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I hope it is less painful by now. I'm getting really excited about getting my braces in a little while but not looking forward to that pain. Hang it there, everyone says it should feel better soon.

Congratulations! I like those colors

Good luck and I hope you will not be in much pain... keep us updated

Hi Mike,
I also enjoyed reading story about your daughter. I have 18 months old son and I was wondering what will be his reaction to my braces. He also likes to "investigate" everything

thanks, Lisa! Great advice! I will definitely use your first advice when I will get my braces on

ladyksilver,

good luck, keep us updated on your journey (I am getting braced in July )

Thanks.
