I hope they move fast lol @klove2016 and yes I'll be so happy with the outcome lol

And I always say, beauty is pain!! Haha

Yep.. They get worse before they get better!! But they move super fast.

they look really weird right now because some of my teeth are higher up so the bracket is higher in places. and my smile isn't normal like it was. @klove2016 Lol

Yeah. 26 months was my estate.. I always missed appointments and that prolonged it. @graciesmama

And my teeth went through a hideous stage too at first. They got super crooked and gaps. Lol i was so miserable in the very beginning. Hope you don't go through that. @graciesmama

I'll have them for 2-3 is what the ortho said @klove2016

@graciesmama,

Yeah. They sucks. Lol I got mine on at 17, and seriously just got them off 3 months ago lol. 4 years with them lol

yeah it hurt to chew the macaroni, I literally chewed like twice and just swallowed, sucking on ice tends to relieve the pain but only for a while, and I will have to get rubber bands but not until I get the bottoms put on. I should have done this while I was still a teenager lol @klove2016

Ouch. Yeah. I remember them days... It is painful. Hurts to even chew macaroni 😣 if you have to wear the rubber bands, those suck badly also... Feels like your teeth as being pulled from your gums... Wish I had some pain relieving advice for you, but I don't 😩 I will say though, it's all worth it!!! Hope your gums feel better soon Hun!

I don't have any ATM, I made bacon cheeseburgers & macaroni for dinner and only could eat the macaroni.. lol it sucks so bad @sarinunez

Ah okay! I would try eating soup..

the braces themself are fine, but I have spacers in my back teeth so its hard to chew anything.. @sarinunez

Yikes! I'm getting invisalign soon.
