I got my braces on today

#1 Post by chaz00g »

Hello everyone,

I am now a card carrying bracket club member :lol: ! I got my braces on today and tell you truth they dont feel to bad right now. It has been about 8-12 hours now and I feel a little bit of pressure but not as much as when I had my spacers on (if you have seen my other posts on this site about spacers you know that I was complaining). The only thing that is somewhat of a problem is the cleaning. I am asian and rice is part of my diet and I found that in my case rice is not too friendly to my braces. I had to pretty much swish my mouth out after every bite because food got stuck in there.

I have to admit that after the first few hours of being in braces there was some pressure and metal bands still have the same pressure effect as the rubber spacers but I did not feel them as much while I was out fishing and I totally forgot about them when I hooked a 18-20 lb salmon!!!!

Congratulations!

My favorite foods have always contained rice, and I too find it to be not very braces-friendly.

Don't know if you've ever tried it, but couscous is actually a fairly decent alternative. It rinses out easily from between the brackets.
