so when I got my braces the orthodontist gave me a bag of tools. there were all sorts of brushing, flossing and dental hygiene things. there was one thing that I kinda laughed at. she showed me a pink rubber U shaped "tool" to be used as a teether. she said that it can help with all the pressure and pain that I will experience. my teeth can get stronger by chewing on it. since the teeth are being forced to move they are basically unhappy. that unhappiness hurts. haha
it's weird that chewing on pretty normal things can hurt. some days are better than others for some reason. some areas are more sensitive as well. but it is what it is. two month down...
and for those who want to see what braces teether looks like, here it is.
