I went with green rubber bands
RUBBER BANDS HURT A LOT
i was supposed to eat only soft foods for the first week with braces but ive been eating sub sandwiches and chips lmao did it hurt??? like fucking hell!!!! but tbh it was worth it oh and ive had my braces for like 5 days now. and my mouth is finally starting to toughen up and the sores i got are healing!!! its been a lil painful but tbh the pain isnt as bad as i was told that it would be. the most pain that i had was the mouth sores. i dont think getting them tightened will be that bit of an issue but then again i have a rather high pain tolerance so tbh i expected that
So I got my braces off*!!!!!!!!!!!! *temporarily for 6 weeks
i bit my orthodontist earlier because she scratched my gums with a poky thing and i think in retaliation she tightened my braces really tight cause now my mouth hurts like a mother fucking bitch
my new elastic setup is weird it's one elastic over two pins on the top front and then also stretched over two hooks on the bottom it hurts my gums a lot but i'll get used to it i suppose
Also I was just in the bathroom and I was checking out my teeth (because that's what peeps with braces do) and I noticed my canine tooth on my side is hella long and pointed in comparison to the left one. And my top row is pretty much all straightened out so that tooth is gonna be long and pointy five-ever. It's kinda neat. Like having a vampire tooth. Like Cocoa Fang, but not in the front.
