Extra Strength Tylenol please!

Good gracious! I had a whopper of an adjustment yesterday. They put in the thickest wire they have. I thought the chick was going to use a crow bar to get it in.They also put on a light purple power chain. They said I was going to be sore but this pain is CRAZY! I couldn't even sleep last night it hurt so bad. Today I have no desire to even eat. They also gave me elastics to wear 24 HOURS A FREAKIN DAY! They make my teeth super sore...No pain no gain right? This is just plain torture. I do like the look of the power chain. I wasn't expecting to get elastics but the Ortho said they will correct my bite super fast.Sorry for the complaint fest :) On another note, Whats with the Galapagos Giant Tortoise on the package? I sure hope the elastics aren't made of Tortoise, that's just gross.

Gaps

Here are the Gaps that the power chains will be closing in!Excited to see how fast these teeth move. Since my teeth have straightened out so much, I don't really need the threader floss anymore. I can just slide the regular floss under the space behind my wire. The teal ligatures really do make my teeth look whiter...I think I am a fan after all.
