One Year With Braces!

I got my braces on July 28th and today is the 10th...well the 11th at 1:32am but you get my point! Basically it's been about a year with braces. One more to go! This year went by pretty fast I must say. So basically in the past year with braces I've went through a shit ton of pain BUT I'll admit that it has been totally worth it! I love seeing my teeth get straighter and straighter every month. I'm shocked that I've actually kept up with this blog. It blows my mind actually because every time I've made a blog, minus Tumblr(which btw my user name is sassyylittlething so follow me!) , I've never been consistent with it or I just forget I have a blog all together lol. Like I said  a year ago (at least I think I said this) I'm making this blog for me to see my the progress in my teeth.

So at today's appointment let's see, my Ortho said that my teeth were starting to look good, which is better than his usual downer-ness of my teeth lol. I didn't get a power chain on my top teeth. The teeth on the left side of my mouth got a power chain to turn one of my middle teeth and that's really about it. I didn't get colors on the bottom because well they didn't ask me :( the Ortho assistant or whatever just started putting on the elastics.Though she did ask me if I wanted this whiter looking color or the more clear one. They looked almost identical so I just said I don't care and she went with the more white one because apparently they don't stain as easily. Whateva! I kinda like this color more because they make my braces even less visible. HOORAH!

So yeah. Here's a picture :)

I'm thinking of making another blog post on like my actual one year anniversary of having braces and possibly make a little youtube video with all the pictures. We'll see!

Ok well bye!

Love, ME!

braces month...summer!

As usual I've lost track of how long I've had these wretched braces on for. It's been almost a year though! I know I for a fact I got them towards the end of July. Not that it's anywhere near July now...but I'm on summer vacation and I was on my vacation when I got them on.

Any ways. Today was a bitch. I went to the dentist and then like after that appointment and hour later I had an ortho appointment. The dentist I had was a bitch. My orthodontist was strangely in a really good mood today which was nice. He actually said my teeth were coming along which is what I like to hear!

So let's see. I got a stronger wire on my top teeth and a clear power chain once again.

On my bottom teeth...umm I don't actually know if they used a different wire or not but whatever. All my bottom teeth now have the rubber band thingies. I got blue ones.  

I get colored bottom braces just for me because I never got to live out my childhood of getting colored braces like everyone did in grade school. Since I'm in college I'd really rather not have people see me with colored braces because that would make me look ten times younger than I already look and no one can see my bottom teeth aka why I get colors and leave the top clear! 

Well here's a picture! 

 

That's all I gotta say!

Bye :) 

Love, ME!

I really hate braces...

I meant to post this a few weeks ago after after my last ortho appointment but i forgot soo yeah I'm doing it now! Let's see...

nothing new to my top braces other than them putting a new clear powerchain in. I went with hot pink elastics on the bottom. The didn't do the 3 teeth on the bottom because they are all tied in with steel ties. I must say so matter how unenthusiastic my ortho is every time he sees my teeth I'm loving the way they look now. My top teeth are straight and my bottom ones...well they're getting there! Can't wait until they are all completely straight even though by then I'm still going to have these damn braces in because they need to fix my bite. 

Blah. I mean as much as I can't stand having them they aren't terrible, it's the freaking expander that is! It was only supposed to be in for 6 months...lies! It's been like 10 months! 

Here's my teeth!

Tada!

Okay well it's like 2am so I'm going to sleep!

Good night! 

Love, ME!

I'm about to go see The Hunger Games so I need to make this a quick post even though this title is mad long already ahahah! ok ready go!

Let's see my orthodontist is a fucking ass hole.

I got a power chain on all my top teeth...though you can't really tell since it's clear...

All of my bottom teeth finally have the rubber bandy shit around the brackets. They are pink!

Minus my bite...my teeth are looking quite good if I do say so myself...though my orthodontist disagrees...but one of the ortho assistants said they were looking good-she's nice so her opinion means more to me than my jerk face of an orthodontist. 

No literally! The assistant did EVERYTHING to my teeth all my orthodontist did was look at my teeth for like 10 seconds and said you have a long way to go. No shit Sherlock but they are looking sexy compared to what 8 months ago? Damn.

Okay here's a picture :)

Looking better eh?

When I do a little slide show of my teeth with braces at the end of my treatment shits gonna look cray bc my stupid webcam off and on decides to flip my pictures so everything looks either opposite or normal. oh well.

May the odds be ever be in your favor!

Happy Hunger Games!

Off to the movies :)

No popcorn for me though :( 

Womp

Hate Braces

Ah.

Okay Bye!

Love, ME :)

this is a totally random post not related to braces

I don't understand my mind sometimes. random thoughts always pop into my head and any ways with that being said this is the sentence/thought that was in my head...

"I'm a very goal oriented person but unfortunately i was unsuccessful with my goal to reach 5 foot."

Told you it was random. It made me laugh. Maybe you'll get a chuckle out of it.

This is all!

Good night!
Love ME :)

i wish my teeth could just magically straighten over night.

i'm so sick of braces! i had to get like this laser gum surgery-ish thing.

i couldn't tell you what they did because my eyes were closed and i was literally crying the entire time. my entire right side of my mouth was numb and apparently they used some laser to get rid of gum tissue...honestly i don't know. On that tooth there was a button (no idea what that is) and they took that off and added a bracket. They finally added brackets to all my bottom teeth. They made one tooth have a metal bracket which is gona look ridiculous once they all straighten out since everything else is ceramic. whatevs. They added a powerchain to half of my bottom teeth. I asked for pink this time because I figured since I'm stuck with a metal mouth-ceramic mouth-for 1 year and a half I might as well change things up a bit. My mouth hurts as usual. Here's a picture...

Talk to you in 6 weeks or if anything changes I'll post a picture!

Time to do homework that I procrastinated on as usual!

Bye

Love ME!

braces month 6?

Hey there gonna try to make this short and sweet because i need to go to sleep lol.

Umm he added like a baby bracket to one of my bottom teeth. He did absolutely nothing to my top teeth but change the little rubber bandy things around my brackets.

Dumb biddie dental assistant who was changing the band thingyss didn't ask me if I wanted clear as usual and I actually wanted pink on the bottom just to see what it would look like slash it's almost Feb.

Any ways here's a picture of my teeth

Soo lastly I have to go back in like 4 weeks for some laser gum contouring something shit.

I'm kinda scared. He said it doesn't hurt but the word laser just sounds terrifying.

Apparently he's doing this to make a tooth bigger? Who knows.

Umm I guess I will see you well no you'll see me...actually no one will see since no one reads my blog hahah. Kinda glad.

OK BYEEEEE!

LOVE, ME, EMILY :)

Teeth after the dentist!

I had my favorite dentist clean my teeth today. Her name is Dina. I absolutely love her. She's very friendly and knows I hate going to the dentist so she always talks to me and tells stories to get my mind off of my teeth being cleaned. It was her first time seeing me with braces too. Any ways I took a picture just because. So here it is...

I have an ortho appointment on the 17th and I could be wrong but I think that will be month 6 of braces! I know it's not a long time but still time went by pretty fast with these babies on and I've definitely noticed change! Praying to God I get my expander off! He said 6 months with it when I got it put on but who knows! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

See ya with a new post next week!!

:) Emily
