I got my braces on four days ago here so far it feels good! I asked a lot of people if their braces hurt they all said there braces hurt on the second day.the most. But, I was sore the second day I didn't feel any thing to bad so I started using a sonacare toothbrush it has made it so much easier with my braces. I feel very comfortable with EP I love how the hole staff is so sweet! I love EP so much it's such a welcoming place and it's nice to know they care so much about are teeth. I'm about to go into sixth grade and I've always never liked the dentist until I went to EP! I love u EP!
