Week 79 with the Damon Braces

Summary: Minimal change but I have a toothache

Yesterday was a really weird day. I had to replace my rubberbands because they kept snapping from stretching my jaw. I am not sure if I just opened my mouth wider than normal or the bands I picked were defective.

I have also started to pick up a bad habit of trying to loosen my teeth manually (in hopes of speeding up the process). I have not heard anybody else doing this but I am really wanting to get my braces off as soon as possible and though maybe if I loosened my teeth, give them a little nudge, they will move faster :D. Definitely makes sense I know if the teeth move too fast, it is bad for your gums so try to avoid doing this if you can.

Lastly, today I have been experiencing some slight toothache on my molar - the one with a rubber band attached. Hopefully it is due to imminent movement and not a cavity.

I'll be taking pictures this weekend as I don't feel much as changed but maybe a picture will tell me otherwise.
