Just got braced!
Just got my braces on this morning...my mouth isn't super-sore yet but I can sense how it's going to be later, lol. Appointment went smoothly. I got metal on my uppers and lowers, and purple ligs, so at least they look kinda cute. Right now I'm just trying to relearn how to eat a tuna sandwich with all these brackets and wires in my mouth...ack!

Re: Just got braced!
Oooh! We are brace day buddies!
I just discovered how much of a chore eating is too. How funny.
The pressure is starting to build on my teeth, but that makes me kind of happy. The scrapety scrape bothers me more than the rest. I wonder how we'll feel tomorrow?
How long will you be in braces? Can't wait to hear your updates!

Yay brace day buddies!
The scraping is driving me crazy, too! I'm going to be making liberal use of the wax, that's for sure...
If all goes well, my treatment should only take 14 months...not so bad. I might have to have a couple of extractions down the road, though, so that might extend things a bit.
How about you? How long will you have them on?

Re: Just got braced!
About the same!
No extractions for me though. I'm correcting gaps, overjet, and a deep bite. Looking forward to hearing about/seeing your progress!

Overjet and mild crowding on top; crazy amounts of crowding on bottom.
