I've had my tops and bottoms for just over a year now. I found that I stopped noticing them about a week or two after I got them on. Most drug stores sell wax for braces (or yuour orthodontist may have given you some), use that because it helps.
I don't know about you, but I found that when they were new, and whenever a tooth moves a lot, I end up with a hole in my cheek :(
I stopped noticing them after 7 days. I had my tops put on first too! It doesn't change much once you do get the bottoms on. Of course, you will have that fluctuating pressure feeling on your teeth as they move with the braces, but light painkillers (like Paracetamol) help with that. :)
I know the feeling! I got mine a few days ago and I'm just getting used to them. I only have top as well and, if it doesn't hurt too much, I found that smiling helps get used to them. Good luck! :)
I have them too?
i have both done. they take a bit to get used to... at first my lips didnt want to move over them, but after having them for a year now i forget i even have them on.
Your teeth will be perfect in no time, buddy XD
