Elephants in my mouth

#1 Post by N'awlinsRach »

Ive been wearing 8 oz extra heavy elephants class 2 on both sides for two weeks. They are still killing me. Stupid canine will not come down. These bad boy elastics are extra oral and I can barely open my moth while wearing them. :( Just whining thanks for letting me vent y'all!

Elephants? That's the elastics right? I have angry rams haha. I started a new post about the different animal pictures on elastics.. I would love to know what they are for. I think it's hilarious they put angry animals on the package. Good luck!

I have 6.5 oz elastics right now (2 on right side and 1 on left side) and I feel for you. Mine are killing my teeth, really sore and that means eating is a nightmare and making me rather grumpy that I can't eat chewy food!

I started out with 4.5 oz elastics and was switched to the 6.5oz elastics last week... been wearing elastics for about 2 months though so I'm used to them making my speech sound funny :lol:, but I do still get some odd looks off people.
Braces: Metal fixed upper and lower
Estimated treatment time: 18-24 months
