Too Diligently!

FOr those of you that asked, I wore my rubberbands 24/7 as instructed. The day I went in to get my braces off I was a little bit "over-corrected" and they weren't sure they were going to take the braces off. They left it up to me and I said "take them off" as loudly as I could! :)

After two days, my bite settled right where they wanted it to, and all seems to be well. Chewing is a dream, an absolute dream!!!

NO BRACES!

They almost did not take them off. I wore my rubberbands too diligently.

Healing

You know you are really starting to heal when your jaw clenching/grinding comes back. I still have tightness on the right side, but I think that will fade once I get these gross braces off and can really throw some food up in there! This is such a long process.
