Lucifina!
Congratulations on getting bottom braces! THat's a huge step in your treamtent! YAY!
Sorry to hear that they're causing you so much pain! I totally know what you're going thru!
I found my bottom braces to be at least twice as painful as uppers!
I was on soft foods for a while, partly because of my wacked out bite!
I totally agree with Dadio! They are so much harder to keep clean! You have all this old food stuck in there and its so embarrassing!
I think they are spaced closer together too!
I also am seeing a lot more progress with my lowers even after only 4 months!
I can too "hear" and feel and see progress with them so we must both be crazy!
I can really "hear" my previously impacted canine move, its still pretty loose but its seen a lot of progress lately!
Hope you are feeling better especially with those nasty migraines! I have one right now but that has nothing to do with my braces currently!
Good luck and keep us posted!

Top braces: 4/28/04
Bottom braces: 11/16/05
Last Adjustment: February 28, 2006 where they gave me a new bottom wire and attached my impacted canine, newly bracketed, to the wire! OUCH!
