Another freshly braced newbie :)

Hi everyone, just thought I'd get acquainted with you all! I just got braced five days ago to fix an open bite and overjet. I had two premolars removed in my lower jaw to correct the crowding as well. I think the braces hurt more than the extractions, I didn't expect it to hurt so much! Ouchies!! It's good to know i'm not the only one going through this!

How's it going now? Much pain?

For the first 5 or 6 days it was pretty horrid
but now it's ok, although I can't bite into anything or put force on any of the canines on both arches - way too sensitive. But I'm at the point now where I can sometimes forget I'm even wearing them so that must be a good sign!

That's a good sign for sure. I'll be getting spacers soon. I'll have an expander for a few months before I get braced.
