Good luck, Beebo! Just do EVERYTHING they tell you.. that makes it go faster! It’ll hurt for a couple of days every time they make an adjustment, but not as bad as this.. This is the worst, thank goodness!! Take Ibuprofen or Tylenol and eat soft things!LOL Can’t wait to see your new smile!!
hugs,

I promise it will ease up on a few days. Remember wax is your best friend. Just an FYI – not sure if they told you but Zylactin-B can really be helpful also.
Take care sweety. If you need any advise, I’m just a phone call away.
I am the average 40-something woman, trying to juggle life as a wife and mother, working outside the home, and trying to keep it all in balance. It's not easy - some days are better than others. But, that's what it's all about right? I have a really AWFUL short-term memory so my family and friends lovingly call me "Dory", whom you might remember as that cute but forgetful little blue fish in "Finding Nemo". Feel free to pop over to the *About* page for more tidbits!

Shannonon 06 Apr 2009 at 8:24 pm 6Bless her sweet heart- we’ve been praying for her all day long!
Doryon 06 Apr 2009 at 8:40 pm 7Thanks everyone – I think she’ll live! And…. she looks so cute with her braces on! You’ll see

Beeboon 07 Apr 2009 at 9:42 am 8Thanks everyone and I appreciate all the advice….:)
Beccaon 07 Apr 2009 at 10:34 am 9Are they the invisible braces? I never had them, so I can’t imagine how sore you are! But you have a great mom to give you great advice!
Rebekahon 07 Apr 2009 at 2:43 pm 10Ah, a milestone of growing up!!!
Beeboon 07 Apr 2009 at 4:08 pm 11They aren’t the invisible kind but they have little colorful bands around the brackets.
Jenon 07 Apr 2009 at 4:35 pm 12I bet she is adorable with her braces!
Beccaon 07 Apr 2009 at 5:08 pm 13Oh how cool! You can color coordinate your clothes to your bands! How are you feeling this afternoon?
