*Cheers* for Bite Pads!
No, not really. They are SO annoying. I didn't even know I was getting them until i went in for my appt. I was told I had "a lot" of things that will be done. That sounds kinda scary. So, I know for sure they told me I will have elastics. I was expecting that though.
From reading other posts, I guess I just didn't really understand these things, mostly because I wasn't expecting them, so didn't pay attention that well. UGH! I just want to bite down on all my teeth. When I tried to eat I just chew with the bite pads instead of anything else, since nothing else is touching. YAY....
BUT, the only thing I am happy about, is that ortho told me I should see a lot of improvement with my crossbite before my next appt. in November. So I guess I can be happy about that.

Yes, I totally understand you. I also have those bitepads, and when I first got them (the same day I got my braces) I thought I couldn't chew with them -which is kind of true. However, three months and a half later, I do eat more or less normally. Still, only my bitepads touch my top teeth and there are specific things I can't eat well. In these cases, mostly, I just swallow. Only salad is still a pain. Moreover, mines have worn out a little bit, so even if my teeth still don't meet each other, they are closer now and that makes everything easier.
Anyway, you will end up mastering the technique, I'm sure!
Don't worry too much: you'll get used to them and, most importantly, they won't be there forever!
