Woohoo I just got braced this morning! I really wanted alternated colour ligs but I don't know why when my ortho asked what colours I would like my brain went full rocket scientist and said purple ._. So, I'm living with purple ligs until 6 weeks later. I got the top arch today along with my TPA, and I'm in paaaain. Lots of pain. I tried flossing after brushing my teeth just now, no luck. Way too torturous. Shall try again tomorrow (: The TPA isn't too bad, just really hard to eat now as I can't chew + I can't mash food with my tongue against my palate. So excited for this whole 2 year journey I would love to post pics but I can't find my decent quality camera at the moment...
Well done!! I'm getting mine in 3 weeks but have an ALF fitted so I know what pain is too!! I'm finding it really hard to eat also so have just been eating porridge and yogurts : )
