[quote=Anonymous]It will get better, but it wont necessarily be fun. Im about 18 months into mine and will celebrate once they're off. In the early days, you still have to develop calluses on your lips so it will hurt more until you do. But dont skimp on the wax because once you're feeling irritation/ swelling, it will just keep getting worse unless you cover the source of the irritation. Two products that have been a lifesaver: Orthodots, so much better than the wax in the little box and Paroxyl, a mouth rinse that helps calm irritation. I get both from Amazon. Also, in the early days, I also occasionally used anbesol/orajel when it really hurt. And oddly, I've noticed a correlation with my menstrual cycle. Increased irritation from my braces seems to be a delightful new pms symptom. Good luck! Its just temporary even though it may suck in the moment[/quote]
