I got my Six Month Smiles braces 5 days ago, on the 6th of February. Honesty, the first 3 days were such a nightmare. Even using the "magix" wax, I got several sores in the inside of the mouth and tongue so I couldn't talk or eat without feeling a huge pain. I am really happy I found this forum, where I can talk with people that can actually understand me!
Fortunately, yesterday and today the sores got better and can now speak and eat with less difficulties and pain. I suppose it happened to all of you that you needed to re-learn how to speak, as the first days you don't speak clear enough. Also I had to use a new way to smile, and unfortunately I need to open the mouth so much... The first days I was getting embarrased in front of the people when I had to laugh (even with my boyfriend!

Little by little, I am getting used to it. And I am glad I am feeling better now, I am full of energies and excited about this!
I will post pictures as soon as I get permissions, so you can see my teeth before the treatment and will keep you updated so you can see the changes
