Yesterday dd had an advancsync device fitted to her lower teeth to pull the bottom jaw forward, in conjunction with top and bottom braces. It's permanent. Not remove able.
She hates it. It's sore, she can hardly talk, doesn't sound or look like her. She's got a party to go to tonight, out with friends tomorrow, on school trip abroad in 2.5 weeks.
I hate how upset she is. I'm worried about the timing - lots of things where she wants to have fun and see friends and she was crying this morning that she doesn't want her friends to see her like this. I feel stupid because I had no idea that they would have such a drastic impact.
Can anyone reassure me that things will improve? Really sorry for her. :(
