Getting Started

Well i have finally got my fixed ceramic braces. I still have my expander in the top for a few more months.
I can't believe how good the braces look, they are hardly noticable at all I so glad i decided to go for the radiance brackets.

Only alittle aching so far but then it is only day two... im alittle worried about the bands staining but fingers crossed they won't.

Flossing with my braces is quite interesting too hehe

Photos to be posted soon. ...

Thought id write alittle update.... not that anything has changed
I still can't speak properly and im pretty sure nothing has moved. Although I am eating normal foods again, just avoiding chewy foods.

The teeth that my retainer is meant to be moving back havent moved at all yet. My dentist asked me if I have been turning my retainer but my ortho never told me too or gave me anything to turn it with... Im alittle worried now...

Anyway thats about it really. ...

Today I had my retainer fitted to expand my top pallet. Within an hour my mouth and face started aching. I suffered from a sore head for the day too. Pain killers didn't seem to do much to help either.

I have constantly been slevering and find it very difficult to eat. Ive stuck to soft bread, soup and banana for today, hopefully tomorrow I will be able to eat more.

I have been lisping all day too, which is really embarrassing lol Ive been told this will ease after ...
