Liam got his upper braces yesterday. He gets the bottom ones in a few months. He says it doesn't hurt all that much, it's just really annoying. He also got a bag full of bizarre implements for cleaning food out of braces–including a floss threader for flossing above the wires. Miles continues to give advice which, while very accurate, is not what Liam wants to hear. "Liam, next time you go to the movies, you shouldn't eat popcorn." So far, Liam's been eating applesauce and soup, but I think he'll move on to more normal stuff soon. Here's a before and after picture. His teeth are straight but there's a bite / alignment problem with the upper and lower teeth.
Pretty soon your teeth will feel more comfortable, Liam.
Best of luck Liam- am sure you’ll get used to them soon. Keep smiling at all that “helpful” advice too!
I think they look good! I know they can hurt sometimes, but it’ll get better…and it gives you a reason to NEED a milkshake 🙂
Hope your feeling better at this stage Liam.
