Hello everyone.
Thanks for taking the time to read/help me out.
I've started the process of getting braces. I chose to get traditional metal. I currently have spacers in. They aren't too bad. A little annoying at first. I'm 30 years old and female. I chose to do this for health reasons, not looks.
Everyday that passes I get closer to getting my top set on. The day I get the top set I also get a quad helix expander. I'm so afraid that I'm going to be in a lot of pain. I've been told by a few people that it doesn't hurt being put on but it does afterwards. The thought of being in pain is causing me so much anxiety that I can't sleep, eat, or focus on my job.
If you have some advice on the first days of braces or how bad they actually hurt, I'd love to hear it. I'm so stuck on the thought that I'll be in all this pain that I almost want to back out.
