It went well, thanks for asking! I had posted an update right after your previous post.

How are yours coming along? The only thing that is bothering me is that I am unable to eat. That's quite normal right? And the soreness will go away soon so I can go back to eating normal again? It really sucked last night coz my hubby is a chef and he cooked a really yummy dinner and all I could eat was soup... :(

Ah, yes, I see the post. Tuesday is the big day for me. Yup, everything is sore with spacers moving teeth around. The good advice I've been reading along the way is to stick with smoothies and soup. I know what you mean about missing great food. But this is all temporary. How are you experiencing cleaning? Again, from what I've read here on this site a waterpik is highly suggested. And, have you had to use the wax yet? Obviously, this is all new to me. This site is very helpful.

Have a nice weekend. Thanks for support.

Good luck to you on Tuesday! I have to read up about spacers. I didn't have to use it before I got braced.

Cleaning is OK, I've been eating soft food lately so they are easy to get out when I brush. Although the other day, I had spaghetti and that got stuck in my braces alot more.

Yes, I have to use my wax quite frequently actually. My poor cheeks are totally cut up!! It hurts to eat hot food...

All this is very new to me as well and I am glad to have found this forum!
