Week 2 Update

I should have posted this on Tuesday but the internet has been up, down, and overall annoying! 

I've noticed when you talk to a fellow brace wearer, you instantly bond  Some of my friends' children have gotten braces. In my case, I've bonded with teenagers and a 10 year old recently.  It's like you become instant friends knowing you share the same goal and plight (at times).  I'm anxious to see their end results too.  It's funny.  So far none of my friends have noticed my braces, but their kids have. 

Yesterday John my nephew, whose teeth I was jealous of, finally saw my braces.  He was happy for me, but then later he passed by me and said "Train coming through!".  I thought it was funny but he was worried he hurt my feelings, hugged me and said "I"m just kidding".  Yea, that's right.  A train is coming through and it's headed for Straight Teeth Town!
 

Anyway, here's an updated pic.  The bottom are really starting to come together!  I wonder when that bottom wayward tooth will join the other three and become a quartet?  Doesn't it look like it's defiantly positioned away from the other front three?  :)  I don't see any difference in the top, but my sister said she does. 

The top front teeth are the most painful.  It's even a bit painful to move a piece of floss between the teeth.  Not the actual act of flossing, but the beginning when I'm putting a bit of pressure on the teeth to work the thread up.  The bottom aren't as crowded or painful as the top.

I don't know if I'm alone on this one, but since getting braces teeth are the first thing I look at.  I never did before, but now I do.  Of course not in a creepy-staring way :)
