Today is Friday, December 24th, 2011 and I have had my braces on for 8 days! I finally began being able to bite into some harder foods yesterday, but am not 100% able to bite into just anything. So I am still living on lots of smoothies. It's not a big deal, since I drink smoothies regularly every day anyway. I put lots of stuff in them to make them healthy and tasty. I especially like using my Perfect Food- Raw Organic Green Super Food made by Garden of Life. It has chlorophyll, antioxidants, enzymes and probiotics in it and is a great, easy way to make sure you are getting the most out of veggies in your diet. I usually add protein powder, almond butter, milk, and a little fruit. Today I added frozen peaches. Yummm........
I have also noticed that since my teeth are not hurting as much anymore, I am gritting them more at night. I wake up several times in the night as I am doing it and try to tell myself to stop! Not sure if that works, but........ Flossing is getting easier although it is tough to get the floss through the bottom back wire, because of the angle and my lower lip being in the way. It takes a few extra minutes of trying.
My Sonicare toothbrush is becoming more comfortable. Those first few days were a little strange with the new sensation of it, compared to my old Oral B. My gums don't seem as sensitive anymore, which is great!
