The rubber bands are very annoying. They pull on my brackets and make my teeth sore. It feels like my braces are tightening.
I'm also having trouble remembering where to put each individual rubber band. To the people nearing this stage of recovery: draw a diagram.
The worst part is, I only have two hands. And to efficiently attach these things, you need three (four if you want a flashlight). It's hard enough to pull open the side of my mouth and attach a single rubber band to four tiny brackets on my molars with a short, flimsy plastic thing while staring at the mirror. Having to do it five times is a colossal pain in the ass. I actually ended up with a hand cramp. My fingers got all bent out of shape and wouldn't unlock for a few minutes. I hate these rubber bands.
This is as wide as I can get my mouth to open.
UPDATE: Woohoo! Kansas goes down and UCLA ascends to the Final Four!
