Great post jrbecca!
I'll probably get my braces around january the 20th, so we are having the same doubts now. :)
I think that with all this advice and support we'll be ok!
Really useful ideas...I will try them out. :wink:

I'm glad this thread helped you, too! I went to the grocery store yesterday and stocked up on some softer foods. I'm also trying to eat as much of the soon-to-be forbidden foods as I can, before receiving my spacers this week (e.g. steak, corn on the cob, etc.). Preparing to eat softer foods has actually given me a wonderful opportunity to try new foods that I might otherwise have passed on, such as couscous, fish and different soups.

I'll be interested to learn about how your treatment is going since you'll be receiving your braces just a day after I receive mine. Best of luck! I hope to see you on the boards!

Hi jrbecca!

Yes, great to see we are almost there. I had my extractions done yesterday and my ortho surprised me by telling me that if everything goes well, (my extractions were very good) I will be finally braced in my next appointment! That will be next monday! :D

I originally estimated the B-day to be around the 20th (I had some delays), but since everything is going ok now, I might be braced before expected!
So I will have to go shopping again..ice cream has become my best friend, it helps a lot to ease the awful feeling post-extractions, and since I'm not eating almost anything else, I don't count the calories :lol:

Good luck to you too, and I hope to see you around here and share experiences!!!
Jess

Thanks for all the info I get my braces in 1 day, I really havent thought of how things will be for the first while. I had my wisdom teeth out 1 month ago and it sounds like the same way I had to eat then. I'm getting kind of scared I'm getting them on top and bottom at the same time. :shock:
Wish me Luck! :)
