Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hi , It does sound a little harder to eat with your bands in that position. Mine are just angle from one tooth on bottom to one on top. I sure hope your bands do the trick to stop the movement. I look everyday to see if my bite is shifting. I worry it will shift to the right again (shifted from 2mm to 5mm before surgery). So far so good. Yeah the pressure from rubber bands on the teeth makes them very sore at times. Today I found out my back molar on bottom is real sore too from chewing - it wasn't use to the pressure I guess. I did forget to put bands on this morning after cleaning teeth. I raced out of the house at 9:30 and wasn't back until 4:30. Hopefully I didn't do any damage by leaving them off so long. I guess I'll have to start carrying them with me. I had some tomato and avocado tonight with salad dressing, that really hit the spot. I have to be careful as sometimes I don't chew as good as I need to and then almost choke on food. I need to get some groceries tomorrow now that I can eat real food again! Happy Birthday - enjoy that cheesecake!! Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
