I got braces today. I am not feeling any pain right now but I will tonight and the next few days. I tried to eat a saltine cracker, and that was a no go.
My teeth do not bite all the way together, I have what they call a 'stop' sticking out of my bottom teeth on both sides so I will not bite all the way and break my brackets on my lower teeth ( i have an overbite). I dont know how I am going to eat.
A bracket already popped of my front tooth so I have to come back tomorrow to put it back on.
I put the braces on mainly for the TMJ i am experiencing, and hopefully these will help.
