I have bite blocks glued to the back of my two front top teeth. They were glued close together; so close, in fact, that I was unable to clean between them. The other day I was attempting to eat a polish dog (adventurous, aren't I :wink: ) and after that I noticed the bite blocks are now so far apart I can place my finger between them, and they seem to be further back on my teeth. I don't know if the polish pushed them; the blocks are not loose at all, and when I try to move them they won't budge. Perhaps before the polish they had moved and I just hadn't realized. My front teeth don't look like they have moved at all. So does anyone know why the bite blocks moved so much? Maybe my teeth are moving and I just don't notice it, but judging from the big space between the bite blocks, if teeth movement caused this, you would think I would notice a big change in my teeth, and I don't. I was braced I believe three weeks ago. So what caused this??

PS ... what's a polish dog? Possibly what Kiwi's call a sav in a bread roll and the ozzie's call a hot dog ... maybe ... soft comfort food ... a tad messy in braces, but easy to eat ... with loads of sauce ...
A Polish Dog is like a hot dog, but the sausage used is larger and more seasoned than your run of the mill hot dog.

I think that might be the twisted end of the sausage casing, and not a stick.


But I sure do want a corndog right about now!

Lunch break in 30 min, :D

I love beetrot, but I have this habit of dropping it on myself.

Thanks Tim ... that's an interesting name ... is the batter made with corn flour ... or some corn product?
I think that might be the twisted end of the sausage casing, and not a stick.
PW it's supposed to be a stick ... although a pathetic looking one. At home we usually have a flat stick ... the same type you see in ice blocks.
Oh my, what a weird stick, hehe.

You guys are making me hungry for things that are still too painful for me to eat. No way I could eat a corn dog now. And it's been over a month since getting braced. :(

I love beetroot now, but when I was a kid I detested it, because every Friday the school dinner would consist of fried fish (Catholic school) mashed potatoes and boiled beetroot,and all the beetroot juice would go into the mash and make it pink :yuck:
