When they put the molar bands/palatal expander on, I had to bite down on a piece of cotton. The 7 year old in the chair next to me said I looked like a "silly walrus".
After the appointment, I went straight to school. I just made it in time for my 2nd class. Luckily, I didn't actually have to speak at all during my second and third classes and, after hearing my mom's reaction to my voice when I called her, I'm glad about that.
It feels so weird right now, it's crazy to believe people actually get used to these things!
