Eating
Eating is
getting slightly easier, although I’m sticking mainly to liquid based foods –
yogurt, soup, protein shakes. Today however I did have a soup that had
chickpeas and some other beans. They’re quite soft so not much chewing
required, but I was able to chew, but quite gingerly).
I’m getting
used to the feeling of having them in my mouth all the time, and I’m pleased to
say they don’t interfere with my sleep at all. About a month ago, before I’d
decided to get Damon Braces, I was given a mouthguard to protect my teeth
because I grind them at night, and I couldn’t get through the night with them,
they were so uncomfortable. But I haven’t had any problems with these so far.
The only thing bothering me is the one bracket that is very sharp and digging
into the flesh near my lower lip. I forgot my wax today at work so I had to
just put up with it all day until I got home.
Thinking
about going back to the dentist to ask if she could take off two hooks on the
top row of ceramic brackets. When I stop smiling my top lip catches on them, it’s
a bit annoying.
