    Post Little Paranoid :(

    Hello everyone! I got my braces on 12/12/11, and I have Lingual Arches, a overbite "bumper", and elastics. My molars don't touch yet, but that's part of the reason for my elastics.. (real annoying not being able to chew)...

    I keep worrying that because if I press on a bracket, it makes a tiny cracking noise, every couple pushes, I don't push hard, I'm just paranoid that one is broke or something. I just wanted some questions answered:

    - Why does it do what I said above?

    - What are some good foods to eat with braces?

    - How easy does it break, or how do I prevent them from breaking?

    - Any other information I should know?

    Sorry that I have so many questions, I'm so new to this process. I had an FR Retainer before this, that I got in September. So much :|. Thanks for any replies! I hope that I'm just paranoid and there isn't anything wrong!

    ah, I was wondering if other had the issue with molars not touching; it's super weird.

    I'm on day five of my braces and my left molars are just beginning to touch when I first wake up in the morning.

    What's a "bumper"? My molars do not touch, its a very weird feeling, because of the brackets. Is that what a bumper is?



    The Crime: Protruding upper canine, upper and lower crowding.
    Sentence: 2 years
    Fine: $4,100
    First day with brackets: 12/05/2011. 4 Extractions: 12/12/11. 1st Adjustment: 01/04/12. 2nd Adjustment: 2/15/12 Pulling the canine down. 3rd Adjustment 3/28/12 (canine's in the wire, and pulled into position!). 4th adjustment: 5/16/2012 (closing the gaps!)
