I just wanted to share that I am on my way to getting braces! I got my spacers put in on Wednesday at around noon. So far, I have had no real pain. I have had some discomfort and pressure but it hasn't been unbearable at all. I'm getting my braces this coming Wednesday over my schools Spring Break. No vacation for me... braces instead!
That's great cathykay! Congrats on starting the braces journey! Many people say the spacers are the worst part, so that's wonderful you haven't had any pain. I'd imagine that if you didn't feel pain by now you probably won't.
