oh man really struggling to stay positive with braces right now...

happy new year ortho family!!!! I was in east africa for 5 weeks catching up with family and other east african disapora! I've really struggled with the braces the past few weeks. wires were pricking me (especially after I ate popcorn) and my teeth have just been very sensitive generally. how it is going with all of you? For the first time since getting the braces I have really been through a rough patch. During the holiday I tried to be faithful to my elastics but sometimes I forgot. My teeth moved a bit because there are spaces espeically in the teeth right at the front. Laura what are they called? and there were times when I had really bad toothache, during my holiday?

Well can't wait to catch up on your progress. Met a new friend at the airport will post a pic soon. A

TOTALLY feeling you on the tired of braces thing. I hate them, I hate how they look, I hate the headaches they give me, I have lots of sores.... and of course there's no immediate end in sight.

I totally understand... hugs and hope it improves soon for you!

I'm being pricked too.
I understand your pain.

I went out to a festival the other day and I can't believe the amount of people in braces. It seemed like bracemania! I would lave like to gab a few to take a photo together.

Hang in there. I think these bloody elastic are the worst part.
