The past week or so has been a little crazy with the metal mouth. I have quickly learned that arch wires are easily popped out of my molar bands. And, boy howdy does that feel weird when your trying to ease it back into that little bitty hole. Thankfully it didn't mean another trip to the orthodontist to get anything fixed. Lately though I have a couple of teeth that hurt a bit when I chew. I am assuming that this is due to them being a bit loose. It's pretty interesting to say the least. I recently was gifted a Waterpik. That my friends is the best dang thing ever made. It sure has made my painful flossing; a thing of the past for sure. However, don't let that Waterpik fool you if you don't own one, and its your first time using; be prepared to clean up a lot of water!! I sprayed the sink, wall & mirror; drenched every ounce of myself all in the name of flossing. :)
So I am still a ways out before my first official appt. following my getting my braces put on. Eating is getting a little bit easier, but I still haven't gotten to talented on picking it out of the wires without having to brush my teeth like 40 times a day. You laugh I know you do. It's a serious obsession if I can't tell if there's anything there I literally would swear I have brushed that many times a day. It's probably more like 5 times but hey my next dentist appt. should go really well right... :)
