Kjaere's story: braces here I come

#1 Post by Kjaere »

Hi... I am 26 and in the full process of braces and all things dental related. I have been to the dentist or orthodontist at least once a week since the first week of March. Fillings, and root canals, and crowns... and now braces.

I survived last weeks experience of spacers in my molars... I now have these fun metal bands glued to my molars - that are rubbing the inside of my cheeks raw - in preparation for my Pendulum Appliance that will be put in place on Monday. I've been trying to research and understand what to expect with the appliance and was wondering if anyone had any advice?

And I already long for the day I can eat normal again... oatmeal is getting old fast :wink:

Thanks!

Pendulum Appliance? I'm not familiar...can't advise except to say where possible, wax is a good good friend. And I feel your pain on the eating thing. Had some extractions and was on the soft food diet. It does get old super fast. :wink: But it'll get better.

Welcome aboard!
