The Journey Begins


Chance had braces put on his upper teeth today. He has embarked on a long journey that will involve many orthodontic visits. He was a real trooper today getting them on, but is starting to feel sore already. I'm sure tomorrow will be when it really hits. He's really bummed about not being able to eat Skittles, Candy Corn, and popcorn. He was really psyched, though, about getting his own blog entry and has a picture, proudly showing the "Carolina Blue" bands he picked to go around the brackets. I told him that one day he would be glad he did this while he was young - he is questioning my wisdom right now.

I feel your pain man. Not fun. Don't forget corn on the cob and carmel, oh yeah, gum. Tylenol helps tons when the throbbing gets too bad. Hope he is doing well.

I had a pretty good experience with my braces, a much better one than Matt and B.J. had. However, I still remember the day I got them taken off was the best day of my life to that point. Glad my teeth are straight, but I don't envy Chance with all the awesome adjustments ahead. It's worth it thought.

I totally feel the pain. Oh not so fun. I got mine on in high school, also not fun. It was the best feeling in the world when those babies were taken off of my teeth! I hope chances' journey will go quick! Good luck!!!
