Spacers came out today, and I got 3 bands on each side. As I predicted from my pain/lack-thereof my left side was still tight but my right side had plenty of room to put the bands in. Them putting the bands in was by far more miserable than anything thus far. Also got my first little baby wire. I was going to ask for silver ligs, but they didn't give me the option and put on wire ties, pretty cool I guess. Now my top arch is in some serious pain - ow. Yogurt feels good.
Looking good.....don't forget the warm salt water rinces. They really do help!
