I live in California, I'm 23 years old and I've created this blog to track my SARPE, braces and double jaw surgery. I hope to be a source for those who may be going through the process too. It can be stressful and I'm sure people who will be going through this have the same questions that I had. Please feel free to comment and ask questions! :)

First day in braces
Alrighty,
All I have to say is ow! I got my braces on yesterday morning, and not even 2 hours later they started hurting so bad. I wanted to rip my teeth out! I could barely eat a soft Krispy Kreme donut, and those things practically melt in your mouth! Its just the most irritating feeling. My ortho put a power chain in between my two front teeth, and i can already see that it has closed a bit. It's day two of braces, and they still hurt. and very difficult to eat. He also cut off one of the arms of the expander to make it smaller. It felt amazing afterwards. I had deep indents on my palate from that part of the expander. It's kind of like when you have tight pants on and they start cutting into your waistline, but it hurts so good. My next appointment is on July 17th. I'll be posting more on the gap closing and timeline.
