Morning After

Ibuprofen! That's what I am relying on this morning, I woke up feeling as if someone had punched me in my jaw. Its very achey and hard for me to chew, I had to wait until my cereal turned practically to mush before I could eat it! The only good thing about being in pain is that it means my teeth are moving. At the mo I'm so glad I didn't get the top and bottom teeth done at the same time.

Brace Yourself

I had my bottom brace fitted today, I went with the Damon System, which is smaller than the old conventional braces. They have a pretty good website and you can generally find lots of information on this kind of brace on the Internet. My dentist is going to put top brace on in about 10 weeks time. I have asked for inspire ice braces, they are clear and i think they will be more aesthetically appealing especially seeing as I have a customer facing job! The brace feels OK, little uncomfortable i think the only reason for that is because he put this weird molding stuff on my back teeth, one on either side. He said its for when I bite my back teeth to stop my front teeth hitting the bottom brace which could then loosen the brackets. I'm not sure how long it will have to be on for but my next appointment isn't until October some time. I'm going to see my boyfriend tomorrow so hopefully it wont get in the way when i give him a kiss! =)

Reason for Blog

Ever since I left school I wanted straight teeth, I knew this was going to come at a price though as it would be my second orthodontic treatment. My first treatment was when i had a front lower tooth removed due to crowding, the dentist attached a very small brace, only fitted to 6 or so teeth to close the gap. This was classed as a first treatment and unfortunately the second treatment I would have to get done privately at a big cost!

I researched all the different types of braces but never managed to find many blogs/reviews/photos showing the journey of someones orthodontic treatment. This is why i am breaking my blog virginity writing about my braces.
