I went to the ortho's office yesterday...I was really happy! One of my spacers fell off

So it was the time for the molar bands. I can't deny that I was SOOO happy to get rid of the spacers that I didn't notice at all what was going on...All the bands were placed with no problems, my ortho was happy and me too, and then....what is this????!!!!
I don't know whay I didn't asked the ortho what that was!!!! I had a moment of pure stupidity

The two molar bands that were placed on my upper molars last week were so unnoticeable that I thought all of them will be the same.
But my new bands were a surprise. The upper two bands have this thing over the side were the tongue is (I read here that they are called cleats) and the lowers have a small "button". I can post pictures if you want.
Both of these things are making my tongue suffer a lot, they are so sharp!
On the outside of the upper bands there are these huge hooks that,of course, are killing the inside of my cheeks. Last night I felt so miserable that for the first time I thought "If this gets worse, I will stop this torture and take this darn things off!!!!!!" And I don't even have the braces on yet!!!!
Yes, this road is full of surprises, and right now it seems like a very LONG road to me...I know that I will get used to this but...How do you convince yourself that you will be ok? That you will not have to suffer in vain, and you will be able to GET USED to all this hardware in your mouth?
Sorry, I am being too

Thanks a lot and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!!
