Pseudonym Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm chewing gum! :wacko: Now that may not sound amazing, but I just got my braces removed after over 3 long years of no gum chewing. And as a former gum addict (I chewed about 2 packs a day no joke), braces was just about the worst news I could get. But now the waiting is over, and I can again eat popcorn, gummy worms, malted milk balls, Kashi cereal, sesame seeded bread, apples (bitten directly into, I've had to cut them up), and most of all..I can chew gum once more! :braces: ---> :D I'm happy. :D PS. It's Stride Wild Berry flavor gum, cuz I know you're all wondering. Oh and I look forward to trying 5 Gum, which came out after I got the braces.

MK Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Woah. I've been wearing braces since the end of August (last year) and I'm probably getting them removed in about 7 weeks. I'm lucky, eh? Congrats btw, I bet you're enjoying now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a weird coincidence. :stunned: my parents were never that strict with them. I know :laugh4: I hope it's tomorrow :sad: my dentist said it would be tomorrow but there's a tiny chance that it might be about 6 weeks from now.

I got all used to them until I yesterday got those elastic things that are supposed to move my jaw forward, they're annoying. And I can't eat with them on (tbh I haven't tried), I was starving today until I got back home from school. I'll get used to those too, eventually, I guess.

If they're removable just take them out to eat, that's what I did. Just make sure you wear them AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE or it will extend your time. I had these for an extra 4 weeks due to lack of wearing those bands at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 congrats! i had braces myself...

MK Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 @Nick I got told to remove them before meals, yes, and before brushing my teeth. The problem is that I couldn't do that at school. Maybe I'll find a way around that, but for now it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 do you have to wear a retainer? Yeah I got a non-removable one on the back of my bottoms today..in 2 weeks they'll give me a removable front-top standard one. I had to spit out my first piece of gum. My jaw and teeth are tired, I need to ease myself back into my addiction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have invisalign so shove it. We were too poor for that. Plus I had to get mouth surgery during my braces (it's why I got them in the first place) so Invisalign wasn't an option. yeah did you post in the wrong thread that video? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
