I can't help it. I have to. My teeth hurt so darn bad!! I had an adjustment today. The girl said they were putting on "tandem wires." She said there are two wires hooked together on the one wire. I tried googling it, but couldn't find anything. Anyway, they are killing me. I think this is the worst my teeth have ever hurt, for sure. Maybe I am just forgetting how bad other adjustments have hurt, but this does seem to be the worst . Every tooth hurts except for my molars. Seems like the molars aren't involved this time. Apparently these wires will help with the crowding that I have on my bottom teeth. They are already working because there's a little gap between two of the teeth.
He said I don't need to come back until 8 weeks from now. These are "long-term" wires. I haven't been thinking much about my surgery because it seems so far away in JULY, but I am so ready to have it!

Sometimes you've gotta do what you've gotta do, so complain away :)
Yipes, that does sound like a punishing (and interesting) wire. Here's hoping it does it's business really quick & the rest of that 8 weeks flies by.
Sounds like a good excuse for OTC's and lots of ice cream ;)
It's for the good of the nation.
Teeth nation.
Have you had elastics yet?
The picture says it all - I sure hope the soreness goes away soon!

Poor Aim, feeling better yet?
Hello Aimee, I am new here. I have got braces and will most likely have surgery in May. I had an elastic chain put on my bottom teeth on Friday and they are still hurting. I go back for the top in four weeks. I hope you are feeling better.
It's been a while, so I wanted to check back and see how you are doing. I hope the pain has gotten better. I agree with Kate, good excuse for lots of ice cream!!
Take care!!
I'm feeling much better. Thanks you guys!
Hi Aimee,
great blog! I'm just starting this whole orthognathic/orthodontic extravaganza next Tuesday. The surgery aspect is really freaking me out, and I must admit sometimes I just want to bail out and forget the whole thing.
Anyways, your blog provides a little ray of hope for me!
all the best,
