Today is a new milestone in my braced life. I'll have an appointment with my ortho in the afternoon. She will install spacers on the bottom. I will get four of them, they will be installled around the teeth that held my two bridges. So it means for me that on the bottom I'll have two banded teeth on both sides.

After my meal I went to the lavatory to brush my teeth. ...
I was on a holiday last week. We started our trip three days after I got my upper braces. Well as almost everyone - at least I think so - my first few days in braces were very hard.
