hahaha hope you enjoyed my thread I am getting used to the elastics now, well, starting to!! I just leave them in to eat soft stuff at the moment, so anything like oats and yoghurt i just leave them in, but for dinner I take them out i feel they stretch really easy so i change them like 3-4 times a day! they are not meant to be super tight yet i dont think, but i think they are doing something! when i take them off, my teeth feel weird!!
Your teeth are looking GREAT!!!!!!!!! I am happy for you Braces Buddy
I heard margaritas are good for the tooth pain, I tried it out myself and found that while it didn't make my teeth stop hurting, I didn't care as much that they did LOL.

If you havent noticed yet i have lost all motivation for these boards... been having a bit of a busy time..
power chain seems to have settled down now but i can see that my gaps have closed a bit!! amazing! I am getting used to the elastics but its just another peice of sh!t in my mouth that makes me not be able to kiss my boyfriend properly. It gets me down and I hate it.
Feeling down today and just want this fkn day over with.
I am tired of braces, I am wishing I didn't pic the Teal ligs as I am not loving them anymore and they are so bright I feel like that is all people see when they look at me.
I have a massive headache, I need to see my osteopath and I really really just cbf with anything at the moment.
Ugh, I hate those days (((hugs))). Hope things are looking a little brighter tomorrow! And I understand about hating ligs. I've not been adventurous at all but when I chose the gray one's they looked so dark and I just hated them. My daughters done the same thing every time she gets bright colours (or any colour really). Loved it for a few days then hated them which is why she's adamently stuck with silver for the last 6 months. They always looked fine to me though, I'm sure that's not all people notice about you! There's lots of great things to notice about you
No elastics yet but I got a powerchain at my adjustment today. I don't like it at all, my mouth is so sore.Oh well it will get me a little closer to done, I will just have to endure. Hope your headaches and blah feeling goes away soon. Take it easy.

Weird. I had SOO much pain when I got my braces on but I've yet to have a powerchain give me anywhere near that much grief (touch wood....TOUCH WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I get a bit sore for the first day but by day 3 I'm back to eating whatever again.
"I am wishing I didn't pic the Teal ligs as I am not loving them anymore"
Call your ortho. Say you want to play a "Get our of Teal" card.
Feeling any better? Just go look at your before photos and your now photos. Heck find a full face photo and stare at it, and you compare it to what you have now. Am sure you will see quite a bit to feel good about.
Hang in there.

Hi, hope you are feeling better. Sorry things haven't been going well but I'm sure you would have noticed great progress since you started? Teal ligs? I will have to give them a try to see what they are like!
