  1. On the way of getting my lower set of braces

I had that constant pain in my dents, the braces made my upper lip look so swollen, and the brackets rubbed my mouth at several points. Painkillers and dental wax became my constant companions. I still can't eat aníthing that is needed to chew. Until now I lost almost 2 kilograms, and I'm quite unhappy because of it ...
