cause of all my tears...

So, if you read my previous post, you’ll know that I went home last weekend to pick up a retainer to straighten up my little chompers… well, I’ve got it! It hasn’t been too bad, but it has cause more tears than it’s allowed to… the little guy puts so much pressure on my teeth in a solid effort to move them, but when I take it off to eat (ahh Relief!) my teeth are sore and it hurts to bite down on my food! ☹ I definitely smile even more crooked than before and am still talking funny (like a baby discovering his/her tongue) and I have more saliva in my mouth than ever before but I’m hoping it will eventually be worth it.

Here are some pictures as promised:
how can something sooo small hurt sooo much?? :/ oh well. no pain, no gain right?
aren't boys or school or movies supposed to be the cause of tears?? not teeth... hmm... oh well. can't win 'em all.

If it makes you feel any better I cried alot of tears when I got braces in 7th grade. The worst part for me was that I also had a cemented in retainer that had a funky wire across the roof of my mouth. Whenever I talked or ate food it would scrape against my tongue and it hurt like the dickens. I eventually learned to not scrape my tongue against it which was good cause I had braces and the cemented in retainer for five years.

Do you still work at Jamba Juice? That should help a lot, it was my go-to meal when my teeth hurt because of braces/retainers.
