Yesterday, I went to the orthodontist to get my spacers in before I get braces. They are like small rubber bands that they stick between your teeth to make room for the braces or something. They told me that I could eat normally, but not to eat anything sticky like caramel. Last night, I ate steak for dinner, and all was fine; when I got myself some cereal this morning, I found that I felt excruciating pain when I tried to bite into something. I ended up having to suck on the cereal until it was soft, and then swallow it without chewing. The spacers are quite annoying, but I suppose it will be worth it after all of my teeth have been straightened.
