I wish I would have taken pictures of Day 1 with braces. Oh well, better late than never. I want to track the progress of my Damon braces and bite turbos.

The first week was very painful, and I was very close to throwing in the towel. Luckily, I am getting used to eating with the bite turbos and can chew enough so I am no longer on a soft foods diet. I wasn't sure I could survive on mashed potatoes and ice cream.

Here are the pictures 18 days in...

    Fantastic that you've adjusted so well to having bite turbs and your mouth is feeling so much better.

    Chewing is important for your gums and tooth movement, so it's great you've found new ways to do this.

    Good luck with your progress!

    Great and make sure that you continue to post some more pics and take it all in stride... because remember you still have the rest of your life to eat whatever you want once your braces are all off.
