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!

Day 3: WAX WON'T STICK!

Ughhhhhhh now all of the sudden I'm being poked to death by one my brackets on the bottom of my mouth. Every time I smile or laugh it digs into my mouth AHHHHHHHHH! That wax my ortho gave me does NOT work! So here I am just sitting in pain trying not to smile or laugh.

Eating is getting slightly easier as is brushing my teeth.

Going through a popcorn withdraw.

Bye for now :-\
