Finally Got My Braces

Today was the big day and I finally got my braces on. I got the braces that use "doors" not rubber bands. I really don't know the difference but the orthodontist asked if mined getting those. He explained why and the difference but I wasn't really paying attention. I did research them online and found out they are called Damon Braces System. Getting the braces installed was easy and took about 45 minutes. First she cleaned them but not the way the dentist does, more like a quick clean. Then she dried them. Next the Orthodontist applied the glue and brackets, then heated them with the heating tool that just made a beeping noise. Then the wire was placed in the brackets and the doors were closed. Then the she removed the stuff in my mouth that was holding it open and asked me to bite down. I really couldn't cause some of the brackets were in the way. She moved and adjusted some until I was able to close without any problems.  It was really quick and painless. I did not experience any pain, just a slight discomfort. I was able to talk normally but it was different because of the braces. Also I discovered that with braces in your mouth, your mouth produces a lot of saliva. My mouth felt full of saliva all day. You have to be careful not to spit when you talk.
