Well, the soreness is not so bad today. I've skipped blog entries for days 1 to 5. Basically lots of soreness - especially on my cheeks - where the brackets were rubbing against them.
I like the fact that after I eat --- so much food gets stuck in the braces -- and is soooooo uncomfortable -- that you immediately want to floss and brush.
My cleaning routine consists of using my Water Pik first -- followed by flossing, then brushing using my OralB Triumph power brush -- then another Water Pik cleaning. The entire process takes me about 30 minutes. This might seem a bit extreme -- but I'm taking no chances with my oral health while I have these braces on. I'm also hoping that this will discourage me from snacking as much - as I want to also lose weight while I have the braces on. :D
and one with my braces on:
As you can see -- lots of work needs to be done to fix these pumpkin teeth!! :D
