7th Day Braces...

Not much to update on today. Things are getting really easy and normal feeling. Chewing and eating gets easier every day and Im slowly discovering what I can and cannot eat. I still cant bite into things with my front teeth (cheeseburgers and things like that.) I still have to break things up but I can tell the pressure in my jaw to bite on food is getting a little stronger. Canker sores are getting more apparent on the brackets with hooks on them. On the plus side, I think Im losing weight! From not snacking so much which is a good thing but I only mostly only stick to foods I know are comfortable to eat which is usually pasta and potatoes...bad bad bad! I found myself forgetting I had braces for long periods of time today. Usually Im constantly playing with them (which is why I think my teeth kept feeling really dirty...probably from running my tongue along them so often) I chewed gum for the first time today and it didnt get stuck everywhere so Im very happy I can chew gum because Id way rather have gum than mints! I wont be updating daily anymore because things are getting quite repeatative so I will update a 1-2 times a week for the couple weeks then I will update on any changes or requests you guys have. Like I said, I will be taking a picture every Sunday until they are off and will do a blogpost at the end of each month. I wanted to make sure I had all the issues that occur within the first week and then make sure I let you guys know how it goes for the first month which is the worst part of it all. I wont be neglecting my blog so stay tuned :)
