I guess they say pain is a good thing…that means my teeth are moving! Yay for moving teeth, boo for the pain it causes! It’s more of a soreness then pain i guess…but it does make it uncomfortable to eat. Everytime I accidentally push my front teeth, they hurt. Oy, I guess that just means [...]

I went in for my follow up appointment with the oral surgeon today…it really took less than 5 minutes. I sat in the chair, he came in, took a syringe, cleaned out the holes, told me to swallow each time and that was it! He said I was healing nicely and everything looked good. Great! [...]

So I went in this morning to have my extractions done. I am hoping they don’t mess up this time and I actually get in. Before I went in, I called my orthodontist office to see if it’s a good idea to reschedule my wires appointment since they are so close together. She suggested that [...]

Ahhhhhh….I am so thankful for whoever invited Canker Covers! They are the greatest invention ever! I was in so much pain from the brackets rubbing against the side of my face! It had gotten so swollen, to the point where it hurts just to breathe. Ugh, I thought I had to live with the pain [...]

Today is the day I get my 4 extractions done…or so I thought. I’ve been feeling anxious about the since the night before, I know it’s not as bad as getting impacted wisdom teeth pulled out but I’m still having four teeth yanked out, that can’t be fun. Since they are putting me to sleep, [...]

So after having spacers in for 3 days, I’m starting to get used to them…then one pops right off as i was eating ice cream. I knew that sucker was going cuz I felt it coming out of my tooth. I guess it did its job! Since my orthodontist doesn’t work on Fridays, I couldn’t [...]
First Comes the Spacers

So apparently my teeth are really tight and close together so there’s barely any room to move. In order to make room for the bands to be put on my molars they had to put in spacers. So on Tuesday of last week, I go to the orthodontist so that I can get my spacers [...]
Getting braces…

So this is my first post. I’ve decided to blog about my experience with braces. So I’ve needed braces for awhile now, probably should’ve had it about 10 years ago. I’ve procrastinated this long for several reasons…one of them was that i wanted to get married first. Of course, I know that’s a pretty vain [...]
