Braces

[Luke]

Got mine today; has anyone else got a 'metal thing' (don't know what it's called or looks like) across the top of their jaw? None of my mates have it, and it's limiting my speaking and eating skills |:

a retainer? but thats plastic..
dont worry, within a week or 2 you will get used to the brace and start speaking normal.

[Luke]

Nope. Not a retainer, just had them in today :P
And joy. I managed to eat some soup today.. LOL

[Arron]

Do your teeth come together? if you know what i mean :P
Yeah that looks like your diet for the next week. Soft foods.
How long are your braces in for?

[Luke]

Dunno what you mean, and tbh, I don't know what it is. Can't see it in the mirror, so can only use my tongue to, guess, what it is really haha
Oh nice. Better get the Tomato soup in then >;]
and 18 months. :/

Fromt he feel of my tongue, I THINK that's what it's like
Thick line is gum/teeth
Thin is what appears to be the 'structure' :P

It'd be easier to take a photo? :)

Tried. Can't see anything LOL. It's so obscure, but it's causing so many problems ;[
