All I want for christmas 3 weeks ago

I hate my teeth, as far as teeth go they are not the worse, they are white, all a good even size and shape and quite pretty apart from the fact I have a big over bite that I am so ashamed of that I never really smile or I force it or hide it in some pose or another and have very low self esteem about my mouth. I am 20 and getting my brace this christmas, I couldn’t get one when I was younger for various traumatic dentist experiences and am worried and excited for what is going to change my life.



Should get them on soon. 3 weeks ago

I can’t wait. I should have my braces on sometime next month. It’s going to cost $6,000 and I will have them on for 2 to 2.5 years O_O. But it will be worth it in the end.

Saw the dentist today and he says my teeth are fine, so on with treatment – hooray! My teeth look so much better =)



Untitled 4 weeks ago

i guess i’ve started this list of things, well i don’t know why but it seems sort of fun. i want to get braces because my teeth look jacked-up. my parents may not have enough money for them. but i guess i can live without them.

6 months today... 4 weeks ago

...And my top teeth are nearly done. There’s a complication, however, with one of my bottom teeth, which has meant I’ve had the wire removed for now. There are always possible complications, but other than the pain I didn’t expect any, so I’m a little disappointed. One of my teeth has darkened slightly, and my orthodontist can’t tell why, so I have a referral to see a specialist. Let’s hope it works out okay.

Other than this blip in my treatment, getting the braces was a total no-brainer. Yes, they’re expensive, yes you get crap stuck in them and yes it hurts after tightening. But having beautiful teeth is something I’ve always dreamed of… So it has to be worth it =)
