My gums did eventually get used to the wires. They started putting these things on my braces called chains. They hurt. They pull on my teeth even harder. It’s still not as bad as the first day was, though. That was, by far, the worst. And, I really miss some things. First of all, I miss gummy candy, like welches gummi strawberries, apple O’s, gummi bears and gummi worms. I miss doritos. Caramel. melted marshmallows. I miss the feeling of biting into things with my front teeth. Okay, I’m done remmenissing.
