Hey everyone,

Im new to this site, just got my braces on yesterday. Im 21 years old with a large gap in between my two front teeth, besides that the Ortho said everything else was fine.....Yesterday I got my metal smartclip braces on the bottom, and on Monday I will be getting the clarity Smartclip....Im soo excited to see the completed look on Monday.

Eating has been kinda of rough, the braces itself dont really hurt, just when im trying to sleep, but so far I applied wax to them and it was so much better.

    Hi and welcome!

    It's great that your treatment has started and you're going to blog your journey!

    Wax is great to help keep your mouth healthy and let it toughen without sores. Make sure you keep it on when you eat and don't be concerned if you should eat it. Also it's recommended that you continue to wear wax for at least 24 hours after you think you no longer need it ... just to be on the safe side.

    Keep well hydrated, as this makes it easier for your mouth to move with the brackets on your teeth. Also rinsing with warm salt water is great for soothing and healing.

    Good luck!

    Congrats on getting started! My biggest issue with my teeth was the gap between my two front teeth and it went away in the first month - AMAZING! I hope the same happens to you
