I just got braces a couple weeks ago and I'm still getting used to them (will probably still be getting used to them in 18-24 months when they finally come off). The good news is I'm losing weight because my eating has been limited. Food is either impossible to eat because it's too hard, or it's soft enough to eat but it gets stuck in my braces. Then after I eat it takes me so long to get my teeth clean that I have no urge to eat again for hours. Eating is no longer a pleasurable thing, so I'm not eating just because I'm bored or for enjoyment. I only eat when it's necessary now.
But ugh, I miss enjoying my food!
ETA: I forgot another issue--putting on lipstick. It hurts to put any pressure on my lips against the braces, so it's hard to put on lipstick, and even harder to rub the lips together properly when done. Then it's really difficult to get the lipstick back off. But I love lipstick! (I was reminded of this by the lipstick thread.)
Any other Catheites out there currently wearing braces? I know Evily had them until not too long ago, but I don't know if anyone else has them on now.
