there isn't much to report, but i figured that i would update anyway!

i am still using a little bit of wax occasionally...the wire by the lower (back) right teeth is still poking me some.

i am pretty much eating what i did before the braces. i was just eating softer foods the first couple of days when my teeth were really hurting. but i knew that the sooner that i started eating normal, the better.

as for flossing...it has become easier. i decided to get the oral-b super floss (thanks for reminding me about that sunny! ) which i like a lot better than using the floss threaders. i also have the bryton pick which i use when i am away from home. so, basically i am using the super floss at morning and bedtime and the pick after meals.

i added a picture a little bit ago, that was taken about a week after getting my braces on. there isn't a huge difference, but the one front tooth that was overlapping has moved some. also, it looks like my bite ( - i think this is what it is anyway lol) is changing (you can see the "open spaces" between some of the teeth when i bite down). it is fun to start to see the changes!

so, that is about it for now! 6ish weeks until the first adjustment!
