Bottom teeth (ones with the wire) hurt. Can't eat solids. Any pressure on the teeth, upper or lower, is painful. Chewing gum all morning to try and keep the blood flowing and help alleviate the pain quicker.

My cheeks are starting to get scratched up inside. Can't seem to get the wax to stick to the brackets that are scratching me.

Surgery for the two extractions probably will happen sometime next week, so the week following will be time for upper brackets and ...

I'll admit, I'm nervous. I'm 30 years old and I've never had any kind of dental work other than a filling done, and have never had tooth/mouth/jaw pain so this is going to be an entirely new experience.

I am getting ceramic braces, and I've spent hours online researching the best foods to eat, the best toothbrush to buy, and the best way to help care for mouth pain - however I'm open to any and all suggestions people have to help me along the way!
