The Headgear
11.20.08 (5:45 pm)   [edit]

I'm pretty sure anybody who goes to school with me or reads my blog knows that I have braces. I've only told a few people about the headgear, now I got it! I thought that the soreness the braces gave me [and give me currently, following the tightening] was the worst I was gonna get during my orthodontic treatment. Well, I'm wrong. The headgear hurts my back teeth only, thank God. But the hurt made my head hurt within the first five minutes of getting it on. Now as I type, my head is ringing. I could barely finish my Wall-E header, and you'll notice the lack of EVE. I was 1/8th through tracing her when I couldn't focus on the selection tool...

The headgear is this rounded metal thing that fits in my mouth and restricts the growing of my upper jaw so that my lower jaw can catch up; that's why it hurts so. My braces are expected to stay on until around 2010 to 2012, and the headgear will probably stay that time too, unless my overbite gets fixed in the first 2 years... But it's not likely.

So... Braces- Check. Headgear- Check. Bite plate apparatus- Next time.

So headers, I think, will be few and far between for the folowing days. If you want a header made, I'll get it finished by Monday at the very latest.

I'm just starting off at around 7-10 hours a day, then when I'm used to it more, I'll be using it at night.
I already have the headphones in my bed, I'm not sure if I can manage with this thing too.

Ouch is right ~ my stepdaughter wore them for a while also ~ effective but painful ~ and it did lessen after a while, or so she said, and if not, I'm sure she would have let us know.

I hope you adjust w/o too much more problem. Enough people wear them so they evidently are beneficial ~ so "hang in there" and will keep good thoughts going your way!

((hugs))

*thanks again for my 'auntconi' coffee header!

You're most welcome.
The Beatles once sang, "A man must break his back to earn his day of leisure"... Well, I say, "A man must break his teeth to look good in future"...
