11/03/11 Chewed up Cheeks

Today my teeth don't hurt so bad. However, I find that the more I talk the more the braces rub the inside of my mouth and make it sore. I don't want to always use wax. If I do that, I won't build up the callouses so that things won't bother me. I feel like I've chewed up the inside of my cheeks. I talked to a friend of mine that had braces for 4 years to correct her TMJ. I sure hope that I don't have to go that long. Funny thing is that she went through a lot of the same thing, including the depression and weight loss. It was great to talk to her and find out that I'm not so crazy after all!
