A lot of heartache and triumph brought me here.

Thanks guys!

Yes, I have utilized the wax on a few occasions, there is a bracket on the bottom that was bugging me, but it seems the skin has toughened up there.

Hi Emily, Just checked in to see how everyone is getting on and read your original post. So sorry to hear of the journey you had to go through to get where you are today, but you are obviously a very strong and positive person to do so! You deserve a huge pat on the back.
How are your teeth doing now? Have you come through the really painful bit now?

They are doing great! Its been about 2.5 weeks. So nothing really hurts anymore and I can chew most things. The bite bump things that they put in to keep me from biting down on the bottom brackets are more annoying that anything else. Still def not "used" to them, but it's nowhere near like it was the first several days!
