...well partially anyway. I got the front teeth done less the teeth that will be extracted and they will wait 3 or 4 adjustments before getting the bottoms on.
Eating is...interesting. I think I've begun the apathy/too-much-work-to-eat-and-clean braces diet. LOL
They don't hurt too much but deciding what to eat is...interesting (did I say that before? ).
The first meal post-braces was eaten out. Since then I ate at the in-laws and out twice which is more than we eat out in months. I have a nice grasp of teeth brushing in public now... ...something I have never done before.
I am hoping to get the extractions in the next week or two weeks from now since I have a family party on December 9, volunteering at church on the 8th and helping at my dd's school on the 6th so I want it done a week in advance or a week after all of that is to happen.
Anyhow...there's my update from a woman my dh is jokingly calling "brace face".
Got the braces on Wednesday!

Great
It goes by so quick. I have been braced for almost a month now. My wife had told me that at some point, you will forget that you even have them on. While I disagree with that (you always know when you have food caught), it becomes easier to cope. Once I got into a routine, it has been really easy to deal with them. This board has helped also getting answers that I may not be able to ask my ortho about at the present time. Congratulations on starting your journey!!

Re: Got the braces on Wednesday!
how does it feel getting braces on the teeth ?
Re: Got the braces on Wednesday!
I didn't feel a thing, either. Afterwords it's weird looking at yourself in the mirror but even now, just 4.5 days after getting them on they feel pretty much like they are part of me.lovedog49507 wrote:how does it feel getting braces on the teeth ?

Hey Lovedog49507,
I am 25 years old and have Delta Dental insurance. They pay $1500.00 for Orthrodontic (60% of the total cost). And my treatment for braces is $4200.00, I had to have all four wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and they are paying 80% (oral surgery) of that bill. So far I like Delta Dental. My spouse is also considering braces too; I just hope for his sake he will not have to have extractions done, b/c this is no fun.
