...Since I got my expander, my braces came off today and now I'm trying to learn how to talk with a retainer. I got my bands off last month so taking my brackets off today took like a minute... and then it felt like I had no teeth. Then they spent about half an hour polishing and cleaning in which in part of that time water was spraying all over my face. Then switching rooms and getting photos and impressions done again...But it's pretty exciting. Now comes taking care of my retainer to avoid more bills.
If there's anybody reading my blog now who's dragging through the pain and self-denial of orthodontics (all the good food I mean), it's worth the wait. Just don't break anything (although I did that too many times to count) and you're good to go. It almost feels weird not always having to be careful what you eat.
God be with you all.
Congratulations!! I have never had to have braces, but I know plenty of people who have them. A friend our our's got hers off a few months ago and she loves not having them anymore! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteBraces don't seem like very much fun. I'm really dreading the day when I get them.

I didn't like having braces but now I have to deal with a retainer. It's not as bad as the braces. Congrats!
