What are you thinking about right now?

When I was wearing elastics I got really good at eating nearly anything with them in. The only foods I couldn't eat were larger bites like steak, breads with crust...anything where I needed the space outside my arches to maneuver food around.

That is good information. Do you think mine popped off, or was it indeed simply due to opening my mouth a bit wider than usual? All I had was a teaspoon loaded with 2-3 berries. Thanks Kipepeo!

This too shall pass. In a few weeks. In the meantime, pamper yourself. :rose:[/quote]

Thank you! I'm hoping white wine after work helps :)

Was it on a crown? Honestly, I don't think there's a limit to how far you should open your mouth while wearing elastics. It's what you're comfortable with. I don't think it was by any fault of yours that it popped off.

I'm not thinking about much because I just got my braces on yesterday and I'm in a lot of pain. But I do wish I could eat something! I had tomato soup for dinner last night and it was the last thing I ate (it's now 2:10pm).

Hey Katie--Ibuprofen works wonders!!

And Tobi--I have a couple of litter boxes and litter genies next to them. They are amazing--sort of like the diaper genie...just pop the poop in and walk away!!

It was a native tooth. Thanks for the insight, Kipepeo. I tend to think these sorts of things happen because of something I did. And of course there is a good reason for that line of logic.

I have vacation on my mind!!! Only 7 days until I leave- it's just a short trip but it is a week of no work, no housework, little or no cooking-Just RELAXING! and of course brushing my teeth endlessly

Think cold and smooth, like sorbet. You can eat and it's soothing.

Tobilei -- what an annoying day. I am super impressed with your quoting skills though.

Why thank you, thank you very much It's much easier to just have a multiquote button, but I am no stranger to having a bazillion tabs open at once............

And Tobi--I have a couple of litter boxes and litter genies next to them. They are amazing--sort of like the diaper genie...just pop the poop in and walk away!!

Hmm I have not heard of litter genies! I shall defintely keep them in mind for if we get another kitty, thanks! (Knowing my luck they won't be available in Australia!

Aww no It was the same for me when I first got them on! There's more than just soup. Yoghurt, custard, instant oatmeal, polenta, cream of wheat, sweet rice (warm milk, cooked rice and a little sugar-not very healthy but tastes nice, or just rice pudding works too), smoothies with fruit and protein powder. Hang in there, it doesn't feel like it but it does get better!

I hope the pain has went away for you by now!

Tobilei- Theres a multi-quote button?

[TheCarDoctor]

My first checkup tomorrow and how I'm not looking forward to several days of pain again.

Haha! You should wear a new/different pair of glasses too. When I first got mine on people thought I'd gotten my hair done, new glasses etc. They just couldn't put their finger on what was different. I'm sitting there thinking how obvious the little devils are and they're scrambling to find it.
