My "bypass" wire

This is the little bugger that has been bugging me for a few days now. By using pressure aided by simple gravity, it's pulling two of my teeth away from the crooked tooth. It's also pulling my two bottom teeth all off center. It looks and feels horrible! Luckily it'll only look like that until the 21st.

I have a family reunion to go to this weekend and I'm going to scare people!

See how red the inside of my lip is from this monstrosity??
