I used to enjoy snacks and samples at grocery store. After braces, I still managed snack and sample. Now that I wear elastics, no snack nor sample. :cry:

Although prior to having braces I didn't have it that much I do miss chewing gum :(. I have chewed just one piece of gum in the last 27 months but it got stuck to my brace! so I haven't bothered again since. I know there are types that are not meant to stick to dental work but I cannot find it for sale anywhere in my country :?
Braces: Metal fixed upper and lower
Estimated treatment time: 18-24 months
Braces Removed: August 2013 (after 33 months in braces)
Retainers: Upper & lower essix and lower bonded
