Tinsel E - 18 weeks, 1 day

Wow. This new wire hurts. It feels like I've gotten punched in the teeth. And the worst part is that different teeth hurt at different times in addition to my whole mouth hurting in general. Yawning and "stretching" my jaw makes my teeth hurt. Changing the form of my mouth to drink something hurts. Eating hurts, of course. The interesting (?) thing is that the pain started immediately whereas when the brackets got put on, I didn't feel any pain until lunchtime. I know the minute she started clamping that wire in that I was in trouble. Ugh.
