Good luck! It isn't all that terrible, although I wouldn't do it again.
Haha, well I guess sugary gum wouldn't be bad to chew if you only chewed it very rarely? I heard no sugar stuff, but it's okay to have once in a while. I need these braces on for 20-24 months, so it isn't a terribly long time. And that's amazing you got them off 7 months early, very lucky!!
