Ouchie to the nth degree

Poppy got her elastic bands yesterday. Poppy "slept" with them in her mouth. Poppy woke up every hour in agonizing pain because her mouth was open, going against the force of the bands. Poppy has a cold and can only breathe through her open mouth right now. Poppy will only wear her elastic bands at night until her cold is over. Poppy is sticking it to "The Man".

Oh no! The rubber bands are killers. I think one of the prerequisites of an Ortho is an undergrad in sadomasochism.

Ouch! I remember when my cousin went through it. Poor thing wouldn't open her mouth for two weeks. I thought they looked cool.

Yowza. I really hated that part. Ibuprofen was my friend through that very difficult time...
