Metal Mouth...

I am now officially braced. I was delighted I got to pick colors…I went with light blue and will change at my first adjustment. I am not delighted with the pain though. It is pretty bad…tolerable but bad. Adult teeth are pretty set in their ways so I was told we have more pain than children in braces. If I bite down on anything at all, I nearly scream in agony. Needless to say, I am living on soup and sugar free jello until my gums/teeth aren’t quite so sore. I was happy to see one of my evil teeth had moved a little already at the end of the first day on…wow. A bracket popped off today while I was doing dishes. I heard this “boing” sound and the tooth it was on moved immediately back into place, which felt fucking weird. I looked and the wire was suspended with the bracket attached to it so I go in tomorrow morning to have it glued back on.

I think Sky is more excited about them than I am. He made me show his bus driver today and he told all his friends. Maybe it was just because he stayed home from school the day after what we now refer to as “the puke attack” so he had to go with me to get them on.
