Congratulations!!

You may not be able to bite with your front teeth for a very long time. You will learn to just put it in on the side, and chew there. Give it a few more days and the pain and soreness will go away--Ibuprofen works wonders.

Good luck!

Congratulations! I hope the soreness and discomfort goes away quickly. I got my braces on the 22nd and I barely notice them now.

I got my Braces November 26, 2012 and I am going through the same thing. It is funny because I am eating the exact same things and posted this morning asking what others had eaten! I am so tired of soup already! LOL your braces look great! I wanted to get clear on front, My ortho sujested that I didn't due to my coffee habbit.

Has anyone else felt numbness in their teeth? It feels so weird.

Hi :) Welcome to the board! I got mine on on the 22nd too, but mine still hurt. Not unbearable anymore but still tight and very tender and sore if I try to chew too much. Hopefully that will ease for you soon!
