2 Months in Braces

Well it has been 2 months already. I have to say it went by pretty fast and I am used to living with them - there are days when a particular tooth or teeth will be sore because I guess they are moving, but I have learned to deal with it.. My bottom teeth (specifically the one next to the premolar that has been extracted) continue to straighten out, as do my top teeth. This morning I noticed that my 2 front teeth are not as they used to be.. one is very slightly overlapping the other - I guess it's all part of the treatment .. I have heard others say that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better so I am not worried at all. I trust my orthodontist knows what she is doing plus I still have like 18 months to go haha ...

I have to also say that the clear braces get stained so easily... ugh.. yesterday I was at a party and ended up smoking a few cigarettes. This morning I really regreted it because the braces are all stained and nasty looking ewww... definetly won't do that again.
