May not be on much in the next few days.

Today I went for my braces consultation and my dentist said "The guy after you just cancelled so if you want I can put your braces in right now" So me, The faster thier in the faster thier out type of attitude..I agreed.

Well, Bad idea.The girl din't cut the wires short enough so thier jabbing into my cheek, witch is making it inflamed, witch is causing it to jabb more, and rub against the brackets.

I just tried putting ora-gel on it but it burns..Probably from the wired litterally getting stuck into my cheeck..(Litterally) where I have to pull it out. So I took some tylenol and I hope it's going to help..a bit so I can sleep.

It's 11 here, And I'm fully awake...It hurts soo much, I was so hungry I had the rediculous idea to eat chicken tenders (...because it said tenders I though it was tender) well..It was soooo hard it hurt. (Never eat chicken at dairy queen).

And..Mom braught me out for dinner..At Montana's ..A steakhouse :?

Even trying to eat the cesar salad hurt..then my Penne pasta..well I just swalowed the noodles whole so I din't even have to try enduring the pain of chewing...

Anyone want to chat here ?...I have a feeling I will be on for a while:grumpy


Forgot to explain why I won't be on much...I'm planning on sleeping it out..Because if I sleep, I can't feel the pain.

Only problem is that I can't sleep on my side like usual, Because that would mean my cheek would have to touch the pillow..witch hurts bad.

..I think I may lose sirious weight if food is hard to chew like this for a while.

ooh sorry for you!! *hugs* I hate dentists....ugh.....

I was up until 5 am one morning last summer because of a bad sunburn....totally off topic, but you said you're up late, so I thought I'd chime in.

I hope you feel better soon! I don't have/hopefully never will have braces but I heard they do tend to hurt!

MUCH love and GOOD LUCK!

aw I'm sorry to hear that Brandy that must really painful and uncomfortable. I never had braces but when I was a teen I had a brace on my lower teeth and I know that was bad enough! My husband was just telling me about his last night - he is a grown man now and still telling me how awful it was when he was a boy and had braces!

I hope you can get some relief from the discomfort and pain. Try to keep your mind off it - I know that is easier said than done, but that's what I try to do when I'm not well or hurting.

Thanks you two,

It's still very painful but much better then yesterday, I can eat now..My leftovers from last night.But im still sooooo hungry.

I had 1 thing of baby food and about 1.5 cups of pasta...this may not be easy.

Awww no, that sounds horrid! I'm sorry! I had exactly the same thing when I got both sets of my braces as well- I remember crying with the pain for days!

Could youmaybe call the dentist and go back and see if they can trim the wire shorter for you? That's what I did- mine were stuck in my cheeks too! I think if I remember rightly that they tighten them up over time, so there will be more spare wire aswell, so they can trim it off?

Hope you feel better soon! :hug:

Ouch! Poor you Mouth pain is amongst the worst pain, I think. When I got my braces, everyone told me how terrible it would be, but it really wasn't for me. I don't remember much pain, just a little tenderness. I think I was able to just eat normal food. However, when I was 10 I got my expanders taken out and they put in retainers. The most HORRIBLE retainers ever made, apparently. They hurt so bad... To fit the retainers in my mouth (they were the non-removable kind, couldn't take them out to eat), they freaking jammed wires down between my teeth. My teeth did NOT want to be separated. It hurt so bad I was a kid with a high pain threshold, but as soon as we were out of that orthodontist office, I was crying. To make matters worse, the top retainer had these curls of wire that got my taste buds caught in it on a daily basis. Every day at least once my tongue would be stuck to the roof of my mouth and the only way to get it down would be to rip off the taste bud. Oh gosh. It hurt and I had sores in my mouth for the next two years until they took the horrible thing off.

Did you get to the orthodontist office today? How much better is it feeling? Maybe eating cool things like Jell-o and yogurt would help. Good luck!

I din't get to go to the ortho yet, and seems like the weather wont permit me to go tomorrow either....

Im not sure if i can last another day without pulling them out..
