Went to the orthodontist today, and he's got me wearing a rubber band from my top brackets to the bottom on one side. I actually thought it was for orthodontic purposes until I realized how limited my speech is. I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy between my co-workers, my husband and my mother to keep me from running my mouth so much.
And, it hurts. Bonus for them.

Wait until one snaps. It'll either cut a hole in your cheek or fly out of your mouth and pop someone in the eye. Good times, good times.
So I've heard.
Dang it.
Owww. I remember those days and worry how the boys will fare when they've got to go through it.
At least the drugs are better now than when I had my braces. It was St. Joseph's or maybe a half a tylenol for the pain. I dreaded those tightening visits. Six years of them, too. Ugh.
Mine used to cut the hell out of the side of my mouth. Try twisting them before you do the final hook. That helps some.
