Hi everyone!

Hi, I just got my silver metal braces put on today with midnight glow (dark blue) rubber bands. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be but now 4:45 PM EST, Im starting to feel the pressure on my front teeth, not much, but I can feel it. I took today off from school ,Im a sophmore in high school, to get them on and tomorrow the 21st is a half day becasue of Turkey Day, and my friends finally get to see me with them on. Im prepared for the insults but like everything else, after the first few days, it will be forgotten. Im having trouble eating. I cant chew. My front tooth hits the bracket on the bottom tooth, keeping my teeth from touching together. I have to "moosh" and swallow, so much for chewing. Anyway, this is my first day on a long journey to a better smile. I have to be brushing three times a flossing once, religisously, but I can adjust. So thats my story, Hello.
