After a couple years of nagging from the hubs I finally agreed to get braces. Brett's cousin, Ben McDowell, whose orthodontic office is conveniently located next to Brett's office was the lucky dr to put them on. I got the clear color done on top and the metal on bottom. Ben estimates that I will probably have to wear them 8-9 months. I'm crossing my fingers for sooner:) The first day wasn't so bad but the second day a few of my teeth were super tender, especially around my canines. They were tender doe about 4 days. I ended up breaking off one of my brackets twice in that first day so Ben had to insert 2 bite blockers on my back teeth. Eating is so annoying and I'm so paranoid about food in my teeth. Thank goodness Brett bought me a water pic which cleans them out pretty good before I brush. It was pretty amazing but my overlapping front teeth have already shifted. I can't wait to see what the end result.
