Week 3:
Well, i thought the pain would never go away…but it finally did. I wake up in the morning and different parts of my mouth are sore, but its nothing like those first few days….
I took a pic of my new braces–they are the Damon System, and I have the half clear ones on top. But the clear effect is canceled out due to the ties they put around each one…grrrrrr.


Initially, when i got the braces on, they looked HUGE to me….these braces are supposed to be smaller and work faster than traditional braces. I think it was the hooks they put on the top and bottom that was such a shock. The hooks are so irritating–ive gone through 3 things of wax already!!
I really cant wait to see movement! I can already tell things have moved a little….Ill be taking photos every month so track the progress! exciting, i know! : )

Oh I like this idea! I love tracking progress!
They look so painful J! I remember having to use wax as well but I don’t think I ever had them loop up on my gums like that. That would drive me crazy!
All of this will be over before you know though, and we’ll have a night full of candy apples, taffy, caramel, and gum. haha
