Finally, I have braces on top! It took me months to get them because my orthodontists works only once a fortnight and I had to have 4 (!) teeth extracted prior to that. I didnt think it would be sooo hard. The problem is that I have a wire on my palate to sort of anchor my back teeth and it is extremely uncomfortable to eat. I'd say close to unbearable. Not that it takes at least 45 minutes but it also hurts and the food gets stuck on the palate wire, let alone the food on braces. So I wonder if any of you had the same problems ? Is it possible to get used to this thingy ?

    Great your treatment has started and here's to you adjusting quickly!

    The wire across your palate can be annoying, but hopefully you and your tongue will quickly adjust. I had a different one to the type you had, and had to put chewing gum on it for about 24 hours, until my tongue toughened.

    Good luck!
