Hi Everyone,

I've been browsing this site and forum since late last year to help guide me through beginning my braces journey. Four extractions, 2 deep cleanings, 1.5 weeks of brackets later, I'm now a fully wired metal brace face (1 week today!)

My journey is going okay so far. Just the soreness and discomfort and one nasty canker sore so far. I'm happy to be able to bite down and somewhat chew today :) thought I would be feeling the Soren's/discomfort forever. How is your journey going??
