They are on!

So I blogged earlier about getting the braces. Today it is official. I am a big nerd, just like mike, lol. So it was quite an experience. First off, they told me it should only be an hour because of new technology, blah blah blah. One hour turned into two. Why you ask? Who knows really. First off, the lady putting them on says "oops" in the middle of the whole thing. And since her hands are in my mouth, I couldn't quite ask what the hell happpened. Come to find out, they were having a hard time putting on the brackets for some reason. They kept 'slipping'.

Secondly, my mouth has to stay dry for them to put them on, and their little suction thing SUCKED. no pun intended. It hardly was doing its job, so I was salivating all over the place (I know, not a pretty picture), making it harder for the braces to stay on. So instead of trying to fix the suction, she kept going. ARGH. Hopefully the rest of the visits for the next year will be better.

Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much I though for the process. Currently, still ok. A little difficult to eat, but able to tolerate solid foods, yay! I can't live on mashed potatos and soup. First thing I ate when I was done was McDonalds. I figured I should treat myself.

I feel for those who's had braces in the past. kudos to you.

Braces!

So I've been putting this off for awhile, but on Thursday, I'm getting braces put on. Ugh. I've been dreading it, but it needs to be done. It's not even the invisalign ones, its the full on metal ones, both upper and lower teeth. Damn my gums for being so sensitive. That's how it all started. I used to have perfect teeth as a child and the dentist still says I have nice teeth, just a little bit of an overbite with a gap in the lower part. So they want to close it up and such. Fun, huh? Will you all still love me?? haha.
