I am actually surviving....i'll be it barely but i'm sticking it out!! i have started my saltwater rinses at night right before bed and they are helping. I do have to big sores in the back of my mouth from my back to molar brackets. My jaw is so small he practically had to shove my brackets back there but he said i would get used to them....umm....are we sure about that!!!
I'm using wax religously and trying to chew as much as i can. I haven't adopted chewing gum yet i'm afraid of it sticking to my brackets or getting caught in my wires......but i see that other people are chewing so maybe i'll give it a try!
I have taken three pictures, i'll get them posted as soon as i can so that you guys and see my lovely "metal mouth" LOL!
I haven't gotten used to talking yet....i spit every now and again and my f's whistle!!! Sometimes my words don't come out right and it frustrates me....i just have to stop and start over again. It's a slow process but i'm getting used to it.
I'm still not fond of my Mr. Ed look yet but my family reassures me that i look great and it's just me that thinks otherwise! Makes me feel better!
I'm 4 weeks away from my first adjustment and my bands and wiring of my lower molar brackets! All in one day! Can we say Tylenol take me away!!!
I think i'm going to change my lig color to red....maybe red on top and blue on bottom! What do we think about that?!?! HA HA
Thank you for all your concern and your help! You guys are AWESOME!!!
