Finishing the Procedure - Las Vegas, NV

Megan,

I have seen a big difference in these past 5 months! The bottom row if teeth specially! My wisdom teeth crowed the bottom to were it looked like I had a tooth in the center of my jaw. Im so amazed how fast my teeth straighten. All in all, when I did my time, and the braces are taken off I have to put 2 veneers on the front teeth.
When I was a young boy I was running with my old school metal tonka dump truck! Hit a crack in the concrete fell on my face and chipped my tooth!

So it's almost been 5 months since I have my braces on!! I have to say "I'm very happy I made the decision to keep them on!" The first month in a half was torcher! I actually lost 8lbs. It takes a while for the inside of your mouth adjust to the metal, specially your tongue! The actual braces itself dont hurt, not even when I get them adjusted!
I also invested in a waterpik (Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser)and I love it! My teeth are always sweeky clean, and I dont have braces breath. It's much easier than flossing!

OMG!! I can't take it, even though my whole procedure hasn't been finished I can't stand to have these blocks on my teeth! The tip of my tongue is sometimes raw as well as the inner part of my top lip. I'm so claustrophobic, sometimes I feel like ripping the blocks off with my nails. I try to block it out of my mind but it only works sometimes. If only having the blocks make me feel like this I could only imagine how all my teeth being braced would feel. One more week to make an executive decision!!!
