My oldest daughter now has braces, but no retainer yet. She had them installed yesterday morning. Last night her mouth was sore and she was trying to figure out how to floss her teeth when they are covered in metal.
I’m afraid I was of little help. I don’t know how to floss with braces. She does have one of those spin toothbrushes and this funky looking pick thingy that should help her in her flossing. Looks clean so far.
By bedtime, she hated braces and it wasn’t fair that she had to have them. Day one. And she has to wear them for the next 12 to 18 months.
Her sister, however, is now showing me her teeth saying one is crooked and this is why she has to have braces. I don’t think so, Kid.
I took a picture of Stupid Dog and Metal Mouth. But it’s at home and I’m not. I’ll post it tomorrow, I promise. And don’t tell Autumn I called her "Metal Mouth."
