I've discovered that the right side of my jaw, which has an annoying tendency to pop every time I open my mouth, seems to be behaving. It might just be all in my head, but the cracking and popping that I was experiencing is 90% better! I'm hopeful that this is a sign of more improvement, and it will continue throughout my treatment.
My lips are still shredded, but I can tell that the scar tissue is building, and my favorite remedy is simply cold water over the sore spots. I'd suck on an ice cube if I wouldn't be so tempted to chew on it. Orajel and wax help me to make it through the work day. I still can't believe that I've gone through 2 packs of Orthodontic wax since yesterday!
