Ouch

Hello,

I went to my orthodontist yesterday to get my molds done. The assistant took out my top spacers, and OMG, it felt amazing! The pressure vanished, i wish they could stay out, but that's just wishful thinking 😞.

She then fitted these metal circles around my teeth, they are pretty much what my expander will be connected to, and the she put that putty stuff in my mouth to get a mold of my pallet. That mold will be used to make my expander. Those metal things around my teeth hurt, my gums were already getting irritated, and they had only been on a couple of minutes. I am NOT looking forward to the expander next week! After that, she took the metal out, and put a new set of spacers in on top and the bottom. I still don't know why I need the bottom spacers? Well all i have to say is that my teeth are so sore! haven't been able to eat much, i had a smoothie for lunch today. I'm still hungry. 😢 I get my expander in next week, and then my surgery the very next day.
