Wow its been a while since being here and I am happy to report that my orthodontist told me that i will probably have to prepare for surgery around June month. I can't wait, and cannot believe that a year would have gone by so quickly with these braces. Wish I would've done this whole journey a lot sooner, but still glad that I eventually did it. My teeth look great, they so straight, it's just my bite that is completely bad....so exciting times ahead....

So I had my third ortho visit, they took out my top wirer and replaced it with a thicker wire, the bottom thin wire stayed in. Also got a power chain inserted over three bottom teeth, to turn a stubborn molar around, Little bit of pain but bearable, just no chewing again so hello soup, my food of choice once again. Definitely not complaining. Progress is amazing, looking at my pics from week 1 to now, I am more thankful and excited, just wondered why I never did this sooner. Next app is September ...

So my first follow up is the 13th June since I had my braces put on, I went for the clear ceramic braces. My ortho never really explained what would happen on my second visit? Feeling a bit scared as some of my teeth are still so sensitive, I am even scared to still chew, no pain only the feeling that my teeth are not still feeling normal. Can someone explain what the 2nd visit would be all about? My fitting was done on May 3rd?

So turned 33 and now I have my braces. Had them put on the 3rd May, so it's been a few days and it's the most uncomfortable feeling. No pain just a few cuts and bruises in my mouth, biting or chewing anything is also just not possible. Through all this discomfort though I am still happy and excited about this whole journey. At my brace fitting I opted for the ceramics and am glad that I did even though they cost about R4000 more here in SA. I will soon post some pics of the before cause the aftershocks ...

So i am 32 turning 33 in 9 days and i have decided to start the process as i have at type 3 malocclussion and hate it when i talk to people and they stare straight into my mouth, with age i have become very self conscious about it. i wanted to have this done at a young age already but my parents thought i was pretty enough as all parents do, but i knew they could not afford it! So i worked hard, studied hard but i knew i wouldn;t be able to afford the surgery costs. now i am of age where i think ...
