The moment of truth came and I took off my braces about a week back. The experience was as if I had been unshackled from the 7 levels of hell, no longer needing to feel anything metal in my mouth. I imagined myself like a bird, spreading its wings and flying high and free. But I was wrong...
The unshackling of my teeth meant that I had to go for one week without anything to keep my teeth in place, and as predicted, my teeth moved. It moved so much that when I tried on the retainers, my whole mouth was sore. The pain was intense. Oh my, even the word pain is an understatement.
I am currently in my 5th hour on my retainers. The pain is still there although less intense, and I dare not remove my retainers and attempt to eat. Even the thought of eating scares me! I hope this pain goes away very very soon...
