Second Day of Braces

Yesterday my friends kept asking me if my teeth were sore and if I was in pain. The answer was honestly, no. I made soup the night before knowing that I should probably eat soft foods and did pretty well throughout the rest of the day. Today is a different story! 

It hurts whenever I eat.  And since I like to eat a lot, I was in a lot of pain! I've been hearing from a lot of friends and family, who have had braces before, that this is what usually happens in the first 48 hours or so. They advised if it is too painful to take some type of pain killer. My pain wasn't that bad that I needed to take meds, so I think we are still doing well. 

Dr. Capio checked in with me today to see how I was doing. It was very comforting to hear from him, as this is a new experience for me. If you are considering braces please don't  make this post deter you from getting them. As I am typing, my teeth are already starting to feel better!
