Untitled 5 days ago

I’ve had my braces for 11 months now. My teeth are much better than they used to be but I still have quite a ways to go. I’ve always had bad teeth my whole life, and I am looking forward to my beautiful new smile!

My family dissagrees with me. 1 month ago

I’ve always had slighty crooked front teeth, and I’ve wanted braces ever since I was little. I’m 18 now, and I’m hoping to get braces fairly soon because I’ve heard that it hurts worse the older you get.

But my entire family and my boyfriend think my teeth are fine and it’s a waste of money. I don’t think they’re fine, but everyone else seems to. I have a slight overbite and my two front teeth are definitely not in line. So, I hope to get braces soon, if only for selfish [or vain] reasons.

Won a Contest!!!! 1 month ago

Well, this goal is #28 on my list because it was something I didn’t think I’d be able to afford until I was out of college and already started with my career, however, my mother entered a drawing for free braces, and WON! The only requirement is that I let them use me however they see fit for marketing purposes. You know, commercials, photos, sound drops for radio promotions, etc…
Everything is included! I’m so excited!

...again 6 months ago

I’ve done this before, but when I asked the ortho in the last couple of months when I’d go back to naked teeth, and he was like “LOOOL NEXT MONTH” for 3-4 months. He never said anything like ”....you really need to wait” like I wish he did. The whole experience didn’t go the way it should have.
My overbite never got corrected, and I’m always having nightmares about my teeth moving back to right before I got braces.

10 months in... 6 months ago

I’ll have had mine on for a year on June 11th. It’s been both annoying and brilliant simultaneously: I love being able to see the amazing resuts, but get irritated when I can’t eat certain things. Hopefully I’ll have them off in maybe 4 months? My top teeth are practically done, they’re just closing the gaps on my bottom row where I had 2 removed. I think I’ll throw a party when they’re off!



it's been a bit over a month now... 6 months ago

I had my first adjustment for my top teeth on April 8, and I got my bottom wire in that day too. My top teeth have already straightened out quite a bit for such a short amount of time, and I’m looking at my bottom teeth waiting for those to get moving too. It’s really amazing how quickly teeth can start shifting!

If you’re thinking about getting braces, you should go for it. If you have any questions, you can send me a message, I don’t mind.
