BRACES ON TODAY!

#1 Post by Kellyw :-) »

I'm getting my braces on in less than 6 hours (clear brackets upper and lower). I'm petrified. Thought it would be a good idea to get last appointment of the day so I could rest in bed later but now I've realised it means I've got the whole day to worry. :cry:

If anyone could give me an idea of what the next few days/weeks will be like I'd really appreciate it.

What they said...

And I ate my roast beef sandwich with a knife and fork at work yesterday. :lol: We laughed at me together.

I just couldn't bite into it anymore after a few bites. ouch!

You'll do great- just don't sweat it! Do the things you need to do to make it more comfortable, and then get on with your life. :D

Congrats :-)o The next few weeks will probably be more interesting with your new/additional hygiene regiment and eating habits. Other than that, life will go on as planned! Fun stuff trying to get roast beef out of all those hiding places huh?
