brace

After visiting your great page in the pretreatment time and the first days as a braces wearer very frequently, i have to admit that the last weeks braces was no topic any more and so I forgot to post to my blog.They are just part of me and my life, routine is going on. Even the adjustments are easy to go, no more troubles any more, just the first successful movements of my teeth! Twice I was asked by adults how I decided for braces and if I would do it again. During the first week I definitely would...

Hi, sorry for not posting the last weeks. After the unexpected difficult start in life with braces the past week was really positive. The braces are already part of my mouth, probably my teeth already would feel naked if the brackets would be removed ( i always tell them that there is no reason to worry about that as it still is a long way to go!). Now that I am a professional wax supplier it`s simply not needed any longer. It´s incredible how efficient our body can adapt to new circumstances! Today...

It almost took me 2 weeks to get used to my braces but you all were right - finally I check brushing, flossing, eating,... It still needs plenty of time but at least it works.

Thanks again to all your supportive comments - its a great...

Hi,

I have the impression that my gum is extra sensible, I still use mainly drinks, eating is too much discomfort. But step...

It really takes some time to getting used to braces and i am glad about the decision of staying at home this week! I still dont eat normal food, i just keep drinking and eating yoghurt.Concerning pain it really is not bad, i didnt need any tablets. But my tongue, lips, cheeks are really suffering, despite the wax i am using. I hope it will be better till monday when i am back to work!
