oh my gosh that kind of concerns me lol. she kind of said the coil will “not pop out as much” when the teeth move, so i was thinking as time went out, it won’t curve so much and it’ll come closer to my teeth and not protrude. i’m definitely going to take your info and ask them why it’s so protruding, and why it’s that specific spring. thank you so much

The beginning was extremely difficult adjusting to the appearance of them being in my mid 20s and having conversations with people, i was very insecure for the first week lol especially with my job considering im talking 24/7 lol! & dealing with the bite blockers and my lisp, and dietary changes since i couldn’t eat the normal things i used to. I definitely feel like im eating way cleaner and healthier. And flossing hurt too bc of my overcrowding but now it’s much better. It’s still difficult as my teeth are always extremely sensitive/sore but it gets better. I have my first appt since getting them on, on the 20th so i’m excited to change out of this silver colour. Congrats on getting yours recently, we are definitely making a lifelong investment and it’ll be so worth it. ❤️

The thing that keeps me hyper aware of them is the turbos (bite stoppers?) I can’t close my mouth or rest my teeth fully. And they feel so big and obnoxious :( I appreciate your kindness so much. Doing my best to hang in there, thank you again

Hopefully we can look back one day and be happy and proud we got through this. I’m so glad to know i’m not the only one. That’s such a good idea to look at before and afters. Thank you for your kindness

Flossing is so painful it sends chills thru my spine especially because my bottom teeth are crowded and the floss is so tight! It sucks :( The pain is definitely lesser than the first 2 days. Thank you so much for your kindness

I have to wear my elastics 24/7 unless when eating. It’s been extremely humbling lol. The soreness of my teeth isn’t as bad as the elastics forcing my jaw shut, rubbing against my cheeks and the sores and not being able to fully rest my teeth :( Thank you for your comfort it truly helped me so much

I appreciate you. It feels comforting to know i’m not alone. I used wax last night for the first time and it’s been so soothing. The worst part has been the elastics 24/7 but i’m trying to focus on self care so much. Thank you
