Braces fitted

Wednesday 10th December 2014

Well on Wednesday I had my braces fitted, it didn't hurt but it wasn't exactly comfortable!

I chose to have red bands on my braces to look Christmassy! :)

That day my teeth ached a lot and I found it hard to eat much because my teeth were so tender!

Today

My teeth still hurt! I managed to sleep though because its more of a dull ache pain than an excruciating one! My braces are rubbing against my lips so I have used the wax they gave me to cover up the metal brackets that were causing me trouble! And I have put bongela over the sores :)

I have another appointment on February 11th 2015 to have them tightened and they said I should have to wear these for at least a year before I have my surgery!

I will update again when I have anymore news (which could be a while) but have a lovely Christmas everyone :)

Braces

Well its been a while since I updated (because nothing has really happened) but I went to the orthodontist on 26th November and they got me prepared for my braces, they took moulds (which are disgusting!) and took photographs of my teeth. After all that I signed some forms and they put blue bands in-between my back teeth to make gaps for the braces to fit in place.

Its been nearly 2 weeks since then and I am going back to have my braces fitted on 10th December! I will then have the braces for approx. 12 - 18 months and then I will have my jaw surgery!! Very scary!

I will update again when I have my braces fitted!! :)
