[quote=Lynn;#92952;1337432040]Yes! And they really hurt. Have you tried it when there's this rubber thingy connected in you upper and lower brackets so it's hard to open your mouth? That was a pain in the ***.[/quote] I never had the chance to experience that, but I find it cute! It's like you only need to open your mouth that big. [quote=Lynn;#92952;1337432040]I agree! It's like having your teeth breathe![/quote] That's why I cherish every moment everytime my rubbers are removed. And I'm undergoing maintainance for about 3 months and it will be removed. Thank God!
