starting to see my teeth change!

I know I said I wasn't going to write in here until my next ortho appt but I took a picture of my lower teeth and I definitely see a slight change in them from the last picture I posted of them.

Any who...take a look!

taken the 1st or 2nd week with braces

Taken today August 17th

 The difference I see: Well there's 4 crooked teeth on the bottom. The 2nd tooth from the left looks like it moved down a bit and also slightly straightened out! Looks like my braces are actually doing their job! Yay...but I don't see any change in my top teeth. 

Mini update: Eating isn't as painful. I still miss popcorn and chips oh and sour patch kids too :(

Last week my ortho put some molding crap on my expander so that I wouldn't have to feel it because it was mad painful and left an indent on my tongue! He also repositioned one of my brackets which was quite painful! Umm well my tongue is happy it is no longer in pain from my expander, however food is now constantly getting stuck up there. Bleh.

Dentist appointment next week. I bet they will be happy I finally got braces. I can't wait to get that suction thingy in my mouth because this expander makes me salivate like crazy and it's hard to swallow!

Next ortho appt is September 13th so unless I see any changes, bye until then!

Bleh

I really didn't want to post a picture of my bottom teeth because they are so crooked but I'm going to any ways. I figured I should since A) no one reads my blog so why be embarrassed and B) I want to see the progress in my teeth getting straight since I have no other pictures of me that show my lower teeth. Once my lower teeth begin to straighten it'll be nice to look back at this picture to see how much they have changed. Any who. Without further ado, here are my teeth...

 BLEHH!

Time for sleep.

Emily!

1 week anniversery with braces!

Today i got my expander in. It legit took 5 minutes. Ortho just stuck these bands around my back molars on each side and made me bite down on these cotton thingys so that the cement could dry. That's weird saying cement because you don't normally think of people having cement in your mouth. Any ways, so I gota have this bitch and a half hunk of metal in my mouth for 6 months. It's making my salivate like crazy, making it impossible to swallow, and giving me a damn lisp! Ah!

Well here's a picture of me with it on.

I look like a spazz in this picture lol.You honestly can't even tell I'm wearing one. Very grateful that I didn't get the expander where you have to crank it.

I don't understand what expanders do, but they suck!

Um unless I see anything different in my teeth I won't be posting for another 6 weeks...aka when I go back to the ortho. I'm surprised at how consistent I've been with this blog.

Hahah I act like people actually read my blog! 

Whatevs this blog is more for me anyways!

Gonna attempt to eat with this contraption!

See ya whenever my teeth get straight! Latahh!

updated picture...day??

I realized the last picture was kinda gross. Maybe it's just me but my teeth look a tiny bit better. Is it even possible for them to get straight in less than a week? They are in no way straight at all but they just seem different. Who knows. See for yourself and compare it to my first picture.

So there are my teeth. DUH. I also have bottom braces but I'm not confident enough to take a picture of them. Well mmm maybe I'll take a picture but not upload it until I actually see a difference in the way they look.

Bye for now!
