One of these days I'm going to OD on the wax. I have a couple brackets where I am trying not to use the wax and one of them is really rubbing ... ouch! I guess I just need to be patient but I don't like the sores. Ack! I know, I'm a scaredy cat.

Hydration is way up because so far today I have had 2.5 litres of water.

Also, last night I didn't put wax on one of the brackets on one of my bottom left molars and must have slept on my left side. Wouldn't you know it - the inside of my mouth over the archwire between the molars was sore. Yes, I have wax on in that area.

Patience grasshopper!

    Keep taking good care of your mouth and remember that warm salt water rinses may help. My ortho recommends rinsing once daily for the length of treatment, and rinsing 5+ times if your mouth is sore.

    Good luck with your progress and hopefully you'll soon be wax free!

    Man when I first got my braces I wished I could sleep with a mouth guard LOL It sounds like you're trying to wean yourself off the wax which is good
