Braces update
Monday morning I had my first appointment since having the braces put on five weeks ago. I have to be honest, I have no idea what exactly they did. I know that it involved taking off the rubber bands on most of the front teeth and instead using long, thin wires wrapped around to hold the main wire attached to the bracket. My teeth had begun to feel very loose and eating was painful for a good five to seven days before so this tightening was welcome. I had some achiness on Wednesday but otherwise there was no discomfort at all from this appointment.
After five weeks I’m getting the hang of it. I know what to eat and what not to eat. Oh, have you ever tried to find things to munch at a gas station while on a car trip that are braces approved? Yeah, that part sucked on Sunday. I brush my teeth often. I won’t lie, the flossing is really annoying so I find myself only doing it about once every couple of days. But the teeth are noticeably spacing out so it’s getting easier.
I didn’t expect to notice a difference so quickly, but there it is. My top front “fangs” have fallen back and no long exist. It’s strange because that’s who I was for so long. The cute girl with fangs. Well I guess since I’m no longer cute or a girl, loosing the fangs makes sense. I’m now a sophisticated, sexy Momma. Well, at least I can think that one night a month when we go out for drinks with friends and I put on makeup!
