Sorry BraceGirl you're having such a hard time. I'm not sure why they would only put on one part of the mouth and not the other. I've read that on other's comments too. My ortho did both upper and lower in ceramics.
I really swear by that Good Vibrations device. You really should look at purchasing one. The only problem is that it won't help once the pain is there. You have to use it before pain sets in.
My teeth were done in the damon braces..so the brackets are a little smaller but still ugly enough! i guess im just getting used to it now.. im scared of getting canker sores though coz i get them alot even without braces.. but atleast im not really experiencing alot of pain.. it hurts a little but i can eat most soft things without pain.
Thanks KK..you are right..today is day 3 with braces and i am getting used to it. before it felt like everyone was staring my braces but it was just me thinking that! i can kinda bite into bread and other semi-hard food now..thanks for all your suggestions though!
