25 year old Damon braces

My overall experience has been worth it! Common things I complain about: Elastics, Soreness, Wires imprinting on my lip until raw if I sleep too hard on one side or another, and food getting stuck. Otherwise, I have had them on for a little over a year and I eat everything under the sun including nuts, chips and steak. The day of and day after my adjustment is always sore to eat. Elastics suck because...well they do. I take them out when I eat and sometimes forget to put them back in and when I do they ache for the first week. My teeth are relatively straight, but the remaining 14 months are mostly needed to correct my bite per doctor.

Well on to finishing wires both top and bottom! It’s been 2.5 years and man I’m over it! We are waiting for my back molars to come together more. He said that’ll take 2-3 months to see how progress is going. He said 6 more months treatment time...but he also said that last month lol so we will see. I’ve paid a lot of money and I want them to be the best they can.
