    Yuck

    Yuck, yuck, yuck!!! I got braces today I know this isn't really important, but I feel like sharing Anyway, I went to the orthodontist at 8:30, and came away at 10:10 with 7 or 8 new little friends They are rubbing on my lips and it kind of hurts, and worst of all, I can't eat food that I want to Yesterday my sister bought me some special ice cream that has hollow chocolate chunks filled with caramel, and my mom refuses to let me have it because she says that the chocolate pieces would be too hard to eat (not as in difficulty hard, but as in the oppostie of soft)! But really they aren't! I just have to be careful! They acctually are soft, but will she listen? NO!!! She has no cule what she is talking about, I mean, she hasn't even ever had the ice cream before, so how in heck can she know??? She thinks she knows everything about everything, especially me, but she has no clue about anything about me!!!! Yesterday, she wouldn't feed me dinner because I was messing around pretending to be "snotty" (not really I WAS pretending ), so I didn't get dinner!

    Sorry, the subject of braces kind of got lost there, I just had to vent. It feels so good

    I know braces can be a pain in the place where you sit and I don't mean a chair; but just think you'll be gorgeous after they come off-my brother tortured me with caramel apples when I had mine complete with the headgear(long time ago). So make the best of it and actually drinking iced tea kinda eases the pain.

    Lol poor you. Don't worry, it'll feel normal within the next few days. The ortho told me I couldn't have hard candy, gum, blah blah blah. I ate it anyways lol. Mind you, it's really incredibly hard to get gum out of your braces. If you eat something hard and chewy now, it could hurt quite a bit. I survived on fluids for the first few days right after I got my braces. Hope the pain goes away soon...

    Thankfully, my daughter is quite diligent about doing exactly what the orthodontist told her to do, in regards to her braces. She doesn't chew gum, she doesn't eat popcorn, she doesn't eat candy that is sticky. She knows what happens if she does because she had a bracket come loose when she put a popsicle (not one of the forbidden foods) in her mouth and a bracket and wire were poking her in the side of her mouth. We have agreed that if she can just do what he instructs, then she'll get those braces off even sooner. Hope you will do the same!

    Don't forget that braces are a HUGE investment for your family. My daughter's braces are estimated at about $5,000 by the time she is finished. The insurance pays $1000 and the rest is up to us! So I think I can understand exactly why your mother is as concerned as she is!!! Just try to understand her feelings a little more.

    Don't be so hard on your mom. She's probably just trying to see what is best for you to eat with your braces.

    I eat everything: gum, carmel, popcorn, ice, etc. I break brackets all the time. Yesterday I had to get 4 brackets replaced because I broke them off by chewing on ice. I'm not a "rebel" or anything, I just can't live without junk food. In fact, I have never had a problem with gum. I chew gum everyday, everywhere and I never get it stuck in my braces. Don't let me be an influence on you though, I would have had these things off a year ago if I had followed all the rules.

    If you're listening to this song
    You may think the chords are going wrong
    But they're not
    We just wrote it like that

    When you're listening late at night
    You may think the band are not quite right
    But they are, they just play it like that

    It doesn't really matter what chords I play
    What words I say or time of day it is
    As it's only a Northern song

    It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
    Or how I fare or if my hair is brown
    When it's only a Northern song

    If you think the harmony
    Is a little dark and out of key
    You're correct, there's nobody there

    And I told you there's no one there

    Ahhhh.....I know how you feel....I just got braces a couple weeks ago. If it hurts just get some wax, roll some into a little ball, and stick it on your braces. It acts like a cusion so you dont feel it against your cheek. As for eating, it took me about 2 weeks until I got to eat "regular" food again. But, dont baby your teeth, I know they hurt, but if you want to eat regular food faster then do it. You can PM or IM me anytime if you need advice or something.

    As the one paying the bill for these braces, comments like this are exactly what I DON'T want to hear from my daughter. If she breaks brackets, excessively, someone has to pay for it. That "someone" would be me!!!

    That just extends the treatment time. You want them off as soon as possible don't you??

    Um...nice to know it?

    I'm not your daughter so I don't know why you are getting mad.

    I don't care. I don't really notice them anymore.

    Hopefully, when you read those replies, you didn't jump into the kitchen for anything sticky and chewy lol. Logan has a good point, when something "goes wrong", someone's gotta pay for it. The occasional junk food should be okay though as long as you know where to limit yourself. If you happen to break something, you'd have to go back to the orthos...and who wants to do that?

    My mom hasn't complained yet about breaking them yet and she would if it was really pissing her off.
