Progress in the first month of braces?!


Question: Progress in the first month of braces?
What happens during the first month of having braces?
I have over crowding with my two canines sticking out like fangs and my two lateral incisors sticking inwards. I thought when I first got braces that I'd get power chains because I had just recently removed 4 bicuspids, but instead I just got this flimsy metal wire that feels like it's not doing anything.
I don't want to bother my orthodontist if this isn't a big deal. so that's why I'm here.

Answers:

It takes a while to notice movement, your teeth have to move through the bone, you will be very sore, eat lots of mashed potatoes, Mac-n-cheese, that sort of food, it will take a couple of months before you notice, Don't give up! It will work.
