Separators- before braces

May 24, 2012

I walk into my orthodontist appointment with the thought- little tiny separators going on four of my teeth. Easy breezy right? I realized within 5 minutes, not easy breezy.

I woke up the next morning feeling like a tennis ball hit my mouth. My orthodontist says, "separators are the worst part".  As many people know me, let's get the hard part over first.

Hurt to open my mouth this wide!

Braces are on

Day 2- June 16, 2012

It's day two of braces and so far so good.  Getting braces was much easier than spacers!!  Tonight I spent 25 minutes in the bathroom brushing and flossing my teeth. Flossing is difficult!!!

Next step- rubber bands go on in 2 weeks. Looking forward to my next update.
