So. The Nance appliance is definitely scratching my palate again, damn it. But I'm pretending it's not. No time to go back to the ortho. Ridiculous. It only hurts when I chew, so I just won't chew. I'll just swallow my food. The pain isn't as bad as before though. Hell, the brackets used to hurt my cheeks before, but they don't any more. Maybe my palate will get used to this, too. Pleeeeease.
