before the insides of your lips/cheeks stopped hurting?
Got braced on Tuesday and all is going well (I'd give my left arm to be able to bite into something but I'm dealing with that), but ouch my lips. I don't wax the front during the day because I go to work and it looks funny & makes me talk funny. All I waxed today is the two pokey wires on the bottom and now I'm paying for it.

I totally forgot about the salt water rinse. I guess I could read the stuff the ortho sent home with me.
