My Escape From The Darkness

First of all, I’d like to say thanks to all the well-wishers out there who sent their comments on Twitter etc. over the last week whilst I was in, what I can only describe as the worst pain I have ever had.

Its nearing 3 years I’ve had my braces on, and NEVER in all that time have I experienced mind-numbing pain like I have in the past week.

Due to the length of time I’ve had them on, the Orthodontist decided to try an experimental wire, hideously expensive as I understand, but supposed to be extremely flexible and almost unbreakable.  I’m well known for breaking the wires in my braces on a more-than-regular basis, so anything that can resist my iron jaw is welcome.

However, my teeth are/were in a ‘transitional’ state, where a massive amount of movement was required before my bite would align again.  For some reason, it was just the right combination of pulling and pushing that made my head feel like it was about to cave in.

But anyways – that’s all over now, and I’m back to my cheery self again!
