Hi guys,
Just want to keep my blog posted. I got my top and bottom braces put on, on September 28, 2011.
I chose to go with Damon Q, just the fact that they don't use elastic bands and they suppose to have less friction.
They didn't hurt the first 4-5 hours, but I can definitely feel the pressure in my mouth.
They started to hurt afterward but pain killer will be your best friend the first couple of days after braces were put on.
During the first week, I could only eat on the right side of my mouth, I think it's because my upper left side has a tooth that is out of place compare to the other as you can tell on the pictures which causes more friction than another side. But if you have more crooked teeth, it probably be harder to eat. But don't forget, PAINKILLER will definitely reduce the pain.

Best of luck to all!


Day 1



Additional info.
My bottom wire only goes to the second to the last teeth but i have my brackets on both teeth.
On top, I the wire only goes to the third to the last teeth and I don't have any brackets on any of the for teeth.
