Blurple, I do hope you'll return to the forum. Your posts will be helpful to others struggling with a bite block or braces. Even though you had your bite block removed, your experience is still helpful because now we know treatment can continue even without a bite block.
I see that SJM's account has been deleted. Just a head's up for everyone: there is an "add foe" option on everyone's profile that blocks you from seeing someone's posts.
Thank you so much for your comments - life without the bite block is so much better, my face looks normal, I can actually chew food - although I can't shut my mouth properly and have to be super careful when chewing as catching the brackets with my upper teeth is not pleasant in the slightest. It definitely feels more liveable.
I wasn't aware of the "foe" option - but will remember that for the future - thank you again for your support.
