My mouth is now a zoo with Lions and Zebras!
The Zebras are pretty good so far.... I like the pressure the lil ones have. The Lions on the other hand... I can't get it to hook on where I need it to... I've been snapped on the lips and the cheeks numerous times in the 2 days I've had them so far.
Also, waking up in the morning... is NOT fun with elastics. My whole jaw is sore for the first half hour or so, and it feels like my elastics are imbedded in my cheeks until I puff out my cheeks to get them back to normal.

at my last appointment i didnt get elastics, but maybe at my next one, becuase now on the left side no teeth touch, and i'm sure my ortho would want to make it easier for me to chew.......All these cute little names for your elastics, they make me laugh:D

LOL! I have a Rhino on my left side. It's my first go with these torturous things and I'm not liking the introduction so far. Rhinos are scary and mean....seems appropriate after having this beast in.weird_wired wrote:I now have Rhino on the right side. Same size (red) as Lion, but way stronger.
This is definitely a massive bull-Rhino packing several tonnes of solid, lumbering muscle
