The whole time my mouth was being sucked dry and pulled open beyond comfort, I could not help but think that the man who invented this terrible device must also have been the man behind creating the jaw trap device in Saw.
A bit dramatic? Not one bit.
Anyway I will try to have the hubby take some pictures so we can begin to track the process but I can already tell that the teeth are on the move! Slimfast and mashed potatoes for me :) I think I will have to invest in some mac and cheese too. If anyone has ideas for soft, good-to-eat-with-braces food I am all ears! I'm sure many things will begin to get boring.
I've been hearing this a lot in 24 hours, but they are... they are that noticable. 22 months of my life I hope will fly by!
OMG, I will almost guarantee that you are the most adorable 27-year-old brace face. Your description of the pain that comes along with braces, though, takes me back to my own brace-face time. My mouth is contorting just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm here for you!
Great post to begin your adventure. I know things will get easier. A little ice cream would be soothing to both the imprisoned mouth and the yearning palette.
