Hello Everyone!

Here I am at day 2 - Day 1 was a breeze - but today is a different story! YEEEOOOUUCCHH! I've got the wax on - it helps for sure. And I was smart enough to save some Vicodin in the medicine cabinet from an injury last month - BOY, DID THAT COME IN HANDY!!

Just wanted to say Hello! I'm officially a Tin Grin! And proud of it!!

Welcome! I get mine on next week, have been waiting for so long and should have done this years ago. Hope your day 3 is brighter and pain free!

Welcome, I recently got my lower arch braces on (last tues.). Congrats on starting your braces journey.

Welcome! The third day was the worst for me. Each day is getting gradually better, I'm almost 2 weeks in now.

They are more annoying than anything & I really want to eat normally again!

It's getting better everyday - on day 4 now. Not quite ready for major chewing yet - but maybe will try hotdogs for dinner tonight. I tried chewing just a little last night ... still pretty sensitive.

Really lucky in that I've only had one sore spot so far and wax really has helped that.

Over all I am still very glad I've made this decision.
