Ok, this is not what I signed up for. No, it’s not. Really. I’m sure I didn’t sign up for this! What am I babbling about? My teeth. Oh. my. gosh. They stinkin’ HURT! LOL My whole lower face hurts, actually!

Here’s the scoop…

Overall, the whole experience is good. In about 14 months, my teeth will all be straight, my smile will look nice, and I’ll be a happy girl. Having said that, the first two aligners are baby steps. Seriously, they don’t do much. Then, you go in and they put on “attachment buttons”. Aha. This translates to “they bring in the big guns.” I think it’s akin to rubber bands on regular braces. The only difference is, with these, you can’t get away from the pressure and pain except to eat. Nice, but who wants to eat when it feels like every tooth in your head is loose? LOL

I’m sorry, I won’t whine anymore. As Josh continually reminds me, I volunteered for this. I didn’t have to do it, I chose to. But wow, I have a WHOLE lot of respect for my son now, since I know what he went through with his braces. Every parent should have to do this so that they have more patience and understanding.

Lots more going on, but no time to post now. Soon.

-Make it a great day!
