I got my bottom braces on yesterday and immediately I could feel how tight the wire was. I am suppsed to be on a liquid diet for 24 hours but if it's anything like last time, it will be a week before I can chew up a steak. My cheeks are getting a lot more raw than they did with the uppers. I feel like I bite my cheek more often. She had problems getting the brackets all on and the wire through because my bottom teeth are cramped and two of them are very crooked. I look forward to this being a little easier and more importantly to getting my teeth fixed so I can get these braces off.
I had a major blessing yesterday when I went to get these on. Chris has been doing a little computer work for them. They usually just take the money they owe Chris off my bill. It works great! He had done some work about a month ago and it didn't come off the bill this time, but completely separate you have to pay an additional amount when they put the tops and bottoms on. So, after I got the bottom braces on yesterday, I went to pay my monthly bill and for the bottom braces and she said I didn't have to pay for the bottoms. She said her paperwork showed they were already paid. I assume it has to do something with the work he did, but we didn't think the work equaled out to that much. We're so thankful, though! Next year I'm going to have to have my wisdom teeth pulled to have some room for all the movement in my teeth and it's going to be expensive. Any money we can save on the braces can help with that. Plus, Christmas is coming up and I normally have half my shopping done by now. I don't this year. God always seems to provide and always at the right time. It's God good!
