Here is Day 1 in braces. My incisors or eye teeth are extra high thanks to some baby teeth that hang on 23 years. I got those pulled two days before braces. I also had my top wisdom teeth removed then... wasn't too terrible, although I was terribly nervous about getting dry socket. I didn't! :0)
I picked green because I am graduating
from college next Sunday and the school colors are green and white. I think the power chains look pretty sweet...
Here is today's pic. I can't believe you can see movement already! My front teeth are starting to straighten... and I have NEVER had a gap between them before! I'm excited. My friend came over last night and she said the exact same thing happened to her when she had braces. She also added that the gap became big enough for her pinky to fit inside! I hope that doesn't happen...
I went out to lunch today to celebrate the last day of student teaching and... ouchy! I could hardly eat what they had. Thankfully the meal consisted of soup (easy enough), salad (ate about 2 bites and that was all...), noodles (yes! no chewing!), rice (again! hooray!), mixed vegetables (eh... not so good, couldn't eat most of them), and chicken (no way jose!). By the end of the meal my jaw and teeth were way too sore to even think about eating anything else. Good thing I live with my fiance... he can eat the leftovers! :0)
