Change Isn't Always Good

My orthodontist warned me that there would be lots of changes, but these changes are not for the best! My smile is all out of whack! I went in today to have a wire cut that was stabbing the back of my cheek and making eating and talking an awful experience. While there I had my upper ties changed as well, obviously! This time she did a color called obscure. It's like a milk color. I think I'm at the point where the only thing I'm going to drink without a straw is clear water. I'm getting really sick of having nasty yellow ties in less then a week.


So as far as the messed up teeth go, my lower front teeth look awful right now. None of them are at the same level and the arch is all messed up. the orthodontist assistant said this was a normal part of the process...
 Heres to hoping that things level out and straighten up in the next few weeks, because this is awful!

      I loved the smoke ones, I had no problems with them at all, but when I went in for a wire change, they had gotten the smoke ligs from another vendor and they were not clear at all! So that's why I got the obscure, that's what in this picture. It's like a milk color and I think it makes my teeth look whiter. I'm not sure if they stain though. Since I got these I have been drinking everything with a straw including my 2 cups of coffee daily. I also, have not eaten anything with red sauce. It's only been 8 days, so still early to tell how well they hold up. They usually start looking nasty right before week 2.
      Congrats on hetting braces! It sucks at first, but does get better!!! And yes, my blog starts with the newest entry first. :-) Make sure to take some pain killers before and after, and the day after as well.
