I know I feel so much better when I find there are people similar to me going through the same things! to be honest the build up to everything was much worse than living with it. I hated the thought of having a brace and having to go to work leading meetings etc and feeling self conscious about it ... but its not that bad :)

the tightening hurt a lot on my front teeth - kind of felt like they were about to be pulled out. But.... it did not last for long and i'm not feel pain really now. Just pressure! glad yours went well too!! :)
