Braces - Week 1

Today marks a week since getting the braces put on. My teeth are still pretty tender in some spots, but not as bad as the first few days after getting them put on. The molar build up is still bugging me, it's really hard to eat anything, only having those two small areas to chew with! I think so far, that is the worst part of it all. I know it will be worth it once that tooth moves forward though! Today's pics don't show any major movement, which is to be expected, but I can tell there has been at least a tiny bit of movement! :)

My gap, from having baby tooth pulled. The molar will be closing in the gap, and shaped to be a "canine"!

Braces - Day 1

Today, I went and got my Damon Braces fitted. It wasn't too bad getting them on, but felt weird almost immediately after the brackets were put on! Due to my left Lateral Incisor needing to be moved forward, I had to have my molars built up, so that I can't bite down, getting the lower teeth in the way of the movement. That feels really strange, and will definitely take some getting used to! Hopefully that tooth moves quickly, so I can get the build up taken off!
Prior to getting the braces, I decided to have my ever lasting upper canine baby tooth pulled, just two days before getting the braces put on. I'm very eager for that gap to fill with the molar behind it. I can't wait!
