Re: Here's my Journey

Good luck robbievega! It still seem a little rough at first but you'll do fine. After over a month I don't use anymore wax and speech is really good. I speak over a radio all day so that helps out a lot. Still, there are certain times with particular phrases where I have to deliberately slow my spee...

Re: Here's my Journey

I just turned the corner on one month today and I feel like I've really hit a stride with my braces :jump: . I know what I'm able to eat easily and what I can eat not-so-easily. Things that require a lot of chewing like nuts get stuck in between the brackets and wires causing slight discomfort. The ...

Re: Here's my Journey

So far I'm almost 2 weeks in and the adjustment has been a challenge (mainly with eating) but like NPH says on How I Met Your Mother, "Challenge Accepted!" I have two wires that stick out of each side on the rear of my lowers and they really jab the sides on my tongue. My saving grace has ...
