Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 ---I have been feeling the same things. I dont know if it is the braces because mine came off this week and I still have the lower lip discomfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 well again, i had a big day of talking today and my lips are killing me. I think it definitely has to do with the braces, but as my OD said today, its better than feeling nothing, which at this point he means, would be a problem. I found myself barely able to talk tonight at this meeting i went to and worry about school. Is Advil my answer? > ---I have been feeling the same things.
