Owwww...

Had a jaw-wiring appointment today. They put 18-gauge wire on both rows, with the ends of the wires bent up instead of trimmed short because they were stainless steel. They also put an extra wire on my upper front teeth (which they braided around my top wire), put a spring between two teeth to make a gap for one I've got growing behind another, and told me that I'd probably have one tooth removed on the other side to shift my bite symmetry.

At the moment, my teeth are sore all over and it hurts to even put pressure on them. And the wires in the back shredded my mouth lining in the back by the end of breakfast. I'm probably going to be living on soup and Tylenol for the next few days.

Ugh..
