Day 2 Complete

Well I just completed my second day with braces which is actually my first full day with them. I have learned a lot in the past 32 or so hours..

I am having to learn to eat all over again. Seriously, I feel like a baby just starting out on solids and I am constantly worried that food is all over my face or in my teeth. Eating just feels gross and I have not mastered chewing yet with my molar build-ups.

Flossing.. Seriously! WTF??!! I had trouble flossing anyway with my tiny mouth but this is ridiculous. Floss threaders suck. I spent almost 30 minutes flossing last night and I still couldn't reach all my teeth well. This is going to take some getting used to.

I have also learned though that most people are very supportive of adults with braces. I have gotten nothing but compliments today at work and everyone has been so understanding. That's a big relief!

And luckily, I still haven't had too much pain. My front teeth are a little tender and it hurts when my cheeks rub across my brackets but that's about it.

So all in all, aside from eating and flossing so far so good. We'll see if any of this changes.
