Day 3...

Sunny, you were right, brushing several times a day which I thought was a good idea turned out to be not so good , my teeth and gums were on the sore side this morning - this is a learning is a process, sometimes a little tougher than others - no doubt about it .

Speaking of learning, I also learned a few new words today when I hit one of my top teeth against a bottom tooth (didn't know I had those words in me - lol). Still hurts to chew but its getting better each day - especially considering that not one of my teeth can actually touch the other.

On the bright side, I did floss today! Hooray!! No pain while flossing and it didn't take long at all.

Even though I am experiencing some discomfort, I am enjoying the transformation of my bite and being able to record the journey on this blog. I remind myself to have gratitude for this journey and the support I receive along the way.

I also discovered, through my supportive network that wax is my new best friend. I have it in my purse, coat pocket, office and truck! With wax life is good and thank you Sunny!

My next posting will be after one week. I have an appointment with the dental hygienist and for a general check up on Monday. However, due to sensitivity, I am considering canceling these - your thoughts?

I will post regularly at monthly intervals or after orthodontic check-ups (first one scheduled for six weeks from initial appointment).
