Its not the way forward! :lol: I know it hurts in the beginning, but by chewing, it increases blood blow to the teeth and gums and will help you get used to the braces far, far more quicker than eati...

I had so many visitors at the beginning of my recovery and i wanted to talk, i just couldn't for all of it. One thing i did do before surgery was to practice talking wit...
