Helpful Hints
I just discovered a neat way to keep wax handy, probably for ladies only. Use an old blusher compact with the makeup taken out. Put the wax in where the makeup used to be, and voila, you have a mirror to use to place your wax without having to go to the bathroom.

Annoying front-tooth overlap
I assume this is due to the spacers, but my front teeth have pushed closer together so they're almost overlapping. It really bugs me because I keep running my tongue over the sharp spot where the two teeth meet. :evil: Wax seems to help, but not during the day when i'm eating and drinking. Will this...

definitely soft foods
Luckily I like my Frosted Mini Wheats mushy. My top front left incisor is the most painful. I guess my ortho did things a little backwards. I had brackets and archwires put on Jan. 26, but they couldn't put the spacers on at that time. I have these rubber-washer things between my back teeth until Ma...

spacers-worse than actual braces?
I had spacers put on this morning (three on both top sides and two on each bottom side). Agony. :oops: In a case of bitter irony, the song on the radio during this torture was "Hurts So Good" by John Cougar Mellencamp. The techs and other patient got a laugh when I pointed that out. What a...

teeth feel funny--are they moving?
My top left canine has felt weird for about a week, like there's something stuck to the back of it (there isn't) or there's a groove or crack (I don't see any). When teeth move, do they feel different afterward? I've only been braced since 1/26, so I doubt any serious movement has occurred.

Should add...
that I use the store-brand of the Colgate 360s, which are nearly identical and cheaper.

Count me in as a manual brusher. I currently use the Colgate(?) 360, with the multi=length bristles. I brush upper and lower fronts, then backs and bite surfaces, rinse and spit. Then I use the interdental/go-between to do some extra cleaning under the braces and in any tough spots. I try to floss o...
