Wow! My mouth really hurts. I got braces yesterday and I have to admit, I wasn't prepared for the amount of pain I'd be in. It's not so much my actual teeth that hurt, (well really, they hurt a lot too) as it is my mouth trying to get used to all the stuff in it. There are lots of poky things driving the inside of my mouth crazy. Thankfully, the dentist gives you lots of wax to put around the poky things to ease the pain. I also drank a glass of wine for a bit of relief, afraid the whole time my teeth would permanently be red.
Im not sure how this extravaganza began, but it's reality now so I'm trying to grin and bear it. Although it hurts really bad when I try and grin. I feel ridiculous talking too, because I can't get my lips around my flippin' teeth. Oh for the love.
On a different note, Joshy got a big boy bike and adores it. He rides all over Halyburton in the morning, and then while I push the other two, he rides his bike to Empie in the evening. What a big boy!. Lots of exercise for the little guy. We love it.

I know from experience what you are feeling, the good thing is that after a couple weeks you won't even know they are there. And then the adjust them, and the pain comes back, this time for a short time. The next thing you know, they are taking them out. On the grand scheme of things, it is not too bad, worth it really.
