Had braces twice. Headgear, retainers, teeth pulled as I have a small jaw. Ugh! I can vividly remember the pain.

I couldn’t swallow pills yet and I hurt SO bad! My dad mashed up some kids Motrin and I washed it down with water. After that kicked in, I ate 3/4 of a 9x13 of lasagna. Dad decided to intervene regularly after that as I was literally starving!

I remember my teeth hurting because my lips were touching my braces after adjustments.

I have a permanent retainer in the bottom front of my mouth. It’s great fun to get food stuck in.

Really praying none of my kids require orthodontia!

I remember my mom doing that with meds and adding sugar to help me gag it down. The “blessing” in this is my younger son has a feeding tube. So pain meds and food can go in no matter what.

I cannot even begin to imagine the braces. Have never had them, nothing except my wisdom teeth being pulled. One got real bad & it got pulled 2 days before HS graduation... that wasn't fun. :hit:hitThe others got taken out by an oral surgeon about 1 1/2 yrs later. when another started to give me problems. They were all impacted under my last molars, so couldn't come up through. That's where all my wisdom went... :eek::lol::lol::lol:
If I had an ounce of sense in my head I wouldn't have started milking cows or anything that is so much hard work for so little return, and caused so many body aches and pains...:smack:smack

We had sun yesterday, melted some snow. I went to Winchester 125 miles, Tues eve, stayed over and tested one farm @ 2 am and then went to another at 730 am. No heat at the 2nd one, and the cows wouldn't come in so started nearly an hour late there. They hadn't shoveled or sanded or anything and nearly busted my butt a couple of times on the packed icy ground.
Supposed to come in with clouds, snow/rain/icy mix tomorrow night. :th
