Well I think I can go Pain med free today, I have the general preasure but no pain.
Do you have to use wax during the whole treatment?
I can no longer wear my Aplience for my TMJ my teeth have out grown it already.

I still wonder how on earth my bottom teeth will ever strighten out? Its like there working against eachother

Skinny don't worry. What you experience now sounds a lot like I did in the beginning. Seems to be common. I had crowded teeth as well, tops and bottom. You will be amazed how fast they will align. After they removed the expander my bottoms straightened out in only 2 weeks! I could almost see the movement.

Hiya Skinny, hope you're feeling better again today.
I got braced 2 weeks ago and had the same problem as you with my top teeth hitting the brackets on the bottom - ouch! I went back to my ortho and he put some funny bonding stuff on one of my molars on either side so that I cant bite down fully and it's really helped. I haven't been bashing my teeth and eating has been MUCH easier. Perhaps talk to your ortho??
Hang in there, the pain will subside and i'm sure it'll all be worth it.
