Sarah22, hi, don't worry, i had the same TPA u have, i started to feel very okay on my third day after it was put on, the very first day was the most annoying day, the second day i started to eat more food, and the third day i already could eat much faster and more.

I got braces since May.12, almost two weeks and i am doing pretty good, i can eat as much as usual, i don't feel any pain at all, but the wire starts to poke my cheeks these few days, does it mean the teeth are moving?? Anyone experience the same thing like i do?

I feel better and better everyday, thanks for all the...

I struggle to floss the molar teeth because my hooks will hurt my lips a bit when i stretched my mouth too big.
It really takes a long time to floss all the teeth.

Skinny, i hope we will feel better and better soon, as you know my braces were put on yestrday, one day after yours and my teeth start to feel sore today, but i still can eat some soft food, but very slowly.
Let me know how yours is doing today,
