Rubber Bands

A couple minutes ago I realized that I had been sleeping practically all day and I was not in the mood for doing something new. Then I thought about why I was sleeping. I am trying to keep my mind off the extreme pain in my mouth from two power chains and rubber bands. I have never worn rubber bands in my braces before so that is new. I hate it! It hurts really really really bad. No pain medicine has worked and my whole mouth is sore. It is worse than when I first got my braces. I hope that this means I am almost done with braces since you usually get them towards the end. I have had braces for almost exactly 3 years now so I hope it will be soon!
