Me and my big mouth...now a sore mouth again

That pesky unbracketed wire was on my last nerve. It had created a canker sore on the inside of my lip the likes of which has never been seen by man before. If my mouth dried out at all, the wire would stick to the canker sore leaving an indentation. Yeah, ouch! I consulted some of my fellow braced and decided to call the ortho. They got me in and fixed me right up. The assistant put a coil/spring looking thingie on the wire so it’s much more comfortable now. Fashionable? Uh no but I will pay that price right now. Since she had to take the wire off and my ligatures were very faded, she did a small adjustment and changed the color for me. I went with dark red this time in keeping with the approaching holiday season. My teeth sure feel it though…very tight on my front bottom teeth. A little ibuprofen and I can eat fairly normally (normally meaning what’s normal for someone with braces which is more equivalent to an 80 yr old man eating with dentures).
