Well, I've had braces for about two months now. The tighetning last time didn't really hurt much, but this time they had to do some extra stuff. Last time the person didn't do some stuff so its being made up for this time including the scheduled stuff. They put a chain thing on my top t eeth stronger and larger covering more teeth than the previous two times to finish off the top row of teeth.

They put 8 spacers to space out 4 teeth on which I'll be getting brackets and then a wire on them as well in 2 weeks... gawd this sucks ar$! Trying to do work with these is hard too. I think I might take a Tylenol but usually I try to avoid taking medicine. Oh well, after those brackets hopefully I won't need anymore since I'll be done with the chain and all the brackets will be on that they wanted to add so the pain should be less....

ahh those were the days, when they come off you'll feel like you don't have any teeth.

Just make sure you have Advil or Tylenol at home when you first get the braces on. The pain comes with they put the wire on...
