Am I being silly?

#1 Post by suseh97 »

......but I really think I can see a difference in my chin area already. I only got the braces in 4 days ago. I feel my chin is now looking much better and my bottom lip appears much fuller.
Knowing that staring in mirror may make me more prone to spotting very minor differences I asked my mum for her opinion. Without prompting she said that my chin looked further forward.
Very happy. The discomfort is so very, very worth it!

I don't know if it's medically possible to have that transformation in four days, however, maybe you are biting differently or your braces "puff out" your chin/lip more. Nonetheless, it's good you are feeling positive about getting braces and looking forward to the progress.
