It's officially been one week (and about 20 hours) since I had my braces in. I'm bored of them already. I can be quite an impatient person - I like things done quickly, which is why I went for these friction-less braces - but trying to imagine over a year of these things is depressing.
Other than the fact I can't talk properly and look like I've either had collagen in my lips or I've been punched in the mouth, the thing I really hate is the cement on my top molars and therefore my inability to chew. I hate it. One week of nothing crispy - argh!
I also found at the beginning my stomach was wondering what was going on. Without the chewing, it was getting no warning, and I quickly would feel full and a bit unwell. I have to admit, I'm cutting down on eating because it's just not a pleasure at the moment. I have however discovered how great cake is with braces, so I'm planning on plenty of baking (and eating).
Meanwhile, still very little pain, if any. One of my teeth has become extremely sensitive (under the gum line) so I'm pasting it with sensitive toothpaste and will see how it goes before my next appointment, but I only notice it when I'm brushing.
Some of my teeth are a little wobbly, which I guess is a good thing!
Next appointment isn't until mid-March. Two of my brackets aren't currently attached to the wire because of how far back they are (the glue needed to dry to its strongest), so looking forward to getting those joining in the action.
