And the pain has begun....

Ughh... I got my spacers today. I didnt think I would have a

problem with them because I dont remember anything bothering me with

them the first two times..but my teeth are killing me..feels like I

already got the braces on my molars. I have 12 spacers total

(3,3,3,3). Found out the bad news that he is going to put full

bands around at least 8 of my molars because my teeth are tipped

inward so far. He is afraid the brackets will pop off when he pulls

them straight. I remember clearly having a horrible tolerance to

bands... I'm not looking foward to this one. I have also realized

how screwed up my jaw is and why I need this surgery even more now

though. I knew I clenched my back teeth before, but now with my

back teeth so tender, I really know when I am clenching. And it

hurts..and its giving me a sinus-like headache on my cheekbones and

between my nose. So now I have been trying to keep my teeth from

touching and my jaw is soooo tired/sore. Ahh...I cant wait for it to

be this time next year when I am hopefully getting my braces off

soon....This year can go by as fast as it wants so I will be done

with the surgery!! Just felt like venting a bit..this is not a good

start to the whole process since now I have a painful reminder of

what I am about to get myself into next week.
