First Day in Braces

#1 Post by oneowl »

First day in my braces to correct overbite and overjet. Not as bad getting them on as I expected and 6 hrs later and no pain yet. Just feels like light stress on my teeth. Hardest part is eating with bite turbos in but i have managed thus far. Thanks to this site it has made my decision to get braces much easier. Great to read and hear other peoples stories in similar situations. Just hoping I get a result I'm happy with now.

Wishing you all the best. Most brace days are pretty easy to manage. I hope your time flies by, I know mine is!

I received Damon braces with the bite turbos. Day 2 still going good - but I have a pretty funny lisp.

Congrats! I just got my top ones put on a few hours ago. You won't have pain today but over the next 2 days...Yikes. Just very sore. Take some time to enjoy soft foods or treat yourself to a milkshake.
