Thank you so much! I am not worry about my teeth hurting but my jaw. I have TMJ and cannot close my mouth all the way without my splint. I am getting bit planes put on the back of my front teeth so it will hold my jaw open (to where it is right now) and so hopefully that will be okay for my jaw. Time will tell. I will def make a post with before pictures and then when my braces are on in this forum.

Everyone on here is so nice :o I love it

So, I take it that you're getting what is usually referred to in this forum as "bite turbos"? These are little things that are glued to the back of the front teeth. You might want to do a search on the forum so you have some kind of idea of what to expect. Good luck to you!

Forgot to add, I was supposed to go into work for a half day but I am actually in too much pain and sort of nauseous...

I am getting my Braces put on Tuesday morning and have to go to class all day on Tuesday. I am SO going to feel your pain! I am terrified about not being able to smile or eat or workout because of the pain. But like you said trying to better yourself.

It WILL be worth in in the long run :o)
You might be able to go to class. I was a little bit in a daze, and my appointment ran long so I just nixed work. Good luck! Let us know how it goes :)
