    Welcome Mad!!!

    I will tell you what was told to me:

    Drink lots of water and keep hydrated
    Brush those teeth with a soft bristle tooth brush or electronic toothbrush
    Floss once a day
    Use wax on your brackets and bands that are giving you the blues
    When your in pain take something and try and get back to eating sooner than later, don't baby those teeth
    Make sure to carry your dental kit with you wherever you go

    Best of luck and make sure to blog and keep track and take pictures!

    What kind did you get metal, ceramic or invisalign???

    Welcome welcome!!!!

    Oh ok... your Damon's look great and such a cute color! I can feel your pain on the adjustment, I just had one yesterday and ooh am I back on my soft food diet, although I am trying to be a bit more brave and try eating a cut up sandwich.

    LMAO! I know... I went through that as well except my diet consisted of mashed potatoes, soft canned fruit, noodles and soup. Try something a little bit harder because it will help to assist with you teeth feeling better.

    Hi and welcome LightBrights!

    Great that things are going well for you and it's fantastic that you've got powerchains so early in treatment, so here's to your upper gap getting heaps smaller very soon!

    My advice is the same as Michelle ... and by following the 'great hydration' and 'wax' rules, you should never have a mouth that's rubbing or has sores.

    Good luck with your treatment going well!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
