I have braces now. Fuck this.
I didn't know it was possible to hate something this much. I'm in so much pain right now and asdfghjklasdgkifvbjragkkges. I have a really big overbite, so I would knock the bottom brackets off if I didn't have these weird, painful wedges on the back of my top front teeth.
Getting them on was so uncomfortable that I can't even explain it, plus the glue smelled like play-dough and tasted like chemicals. They also didn't put a bracket on my fang because it has nowhere to go, so the entire reason my parents made me get braces isn't even being dealt with.
The only food I've eaten without pain is macaroni and cheese, because I don't chew it. Even soup hurt.
I'm seriously just laying on my bed with an ice pack on my face. Somebody kill me.
The orthodontist told me to chew with my back teeth, but I can't even close my back teeth! She just said "you'll figure it out." Chewing is the action of opening and closing the jaw, and if it can't be qclosed, chewing can't happen.
The cherry on top of this is that she said "Don't worry about breakfast, you can eat cereal."
I hate cereal. I hate it so much. I would rather eat canned peaches and bread for breakfast for 4 days straight than eat any sort of cereal. I actually did that at my school trip to Quebec. But that was just because all the other food was really gross. Wow. Way to get off topic, Elise.
The point is, I hate cereal, and I wish I wasn't allowed eat it so I would have an excuse to not eat it.
I also had to learn how to use dental floss. It's not like I don't floss my teeth, I just use these things called floss era that are just dental floss but easy to use. It took me 20 minutes to brush and floss my teeth. Seriously, fuck this.
