The dentist also glued these bite blocks on the back of my front teeth, so my back teeth don't touch at all, which makes eating VERY tricky. I have to mash the food with my tongue on the roof of my mouth. Yesterday I had peas flying out of my mouth and I was drooling. Think I need more practice before I go out for mashed potatoes on Mother's Day!!
Something else I noticed, and I'm very curious to see if anyone else has experienced this, but I feel occasional little spontaneous "clicks" with my teeth, as if they are moving. I am not imagining this; it happens when I'm not even thinking about it. Has this happened to any one of you? Thought it was strange.
Something I did to get me through this and act as a constant reminder of why I'm doing this - I found pics of women with beautiful smiles and taped them on my office walls, so I can look at them and remind myself why I am putting myself through this. It will all be worth it in the end...It will all be worth it in the end...That's my new mantra!!
