Great Linda!!! Many congratulations for this wonderful day. You are absolutely right. Even I do not care about not being able to eat for a while, if it makes my smile better
We will love to see the pics if you have any, before and after braces
Cheers!

Congrats!!!! It is SO SO worth it! I advise on taking some sort of pain medication (Ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc.) right when you wake up because more than likely you WILL be hurting soon; but I hope it's not too bad Good luck! I am so excited for you
Damon 2's top and bottom, BRACED 02/22/04 and REMOVED 08/29/05. Now in bonded retainers (top and bottom) :4 wisdom teeth surgically removed on 12/22/05:
You guys know what i never had any pain, i got them on monday. Wednesday it felt real tight so i did had to take pain meds then but that has been the only time. The only problem Iam having is that its hard for me to bite down when i eat so sometimes i just have to swallow my food, but other than that im doing great. Feels funny though toting my little mouth bag around with me everywhere i go cause we have to take care of them, but so far all is good. im real excited about it. Hope everyone else is doing great also. Also i havent had any cuts on my lip, no wax or anything. Did have a few popped off brackets 4 to be exact, but that is taken care of. Next adjustment sept 19, cant wait.
