My Braces Blog

I had an adjustment yesterday so that means it's time to update the blog.

My ortho made his decison; he is going to pull teeth but he changed his mind on which teeth he is going to pull so it makes me even happier. Instead of pulling my "little peg teeth" (thats what he likes to call them) and reshaping my canines to look like those teeth but he has decided to pull my 4 pre molars (I think thats what you call them, the first front molars in your mouth). He wants it done ...

So my Ortho was supposed to make the final decision on pulling my teeth. Apprently 8 weeks for me to worry about this was not enough because he wants more time to think about it.

In the mean time i am now the proud wearer of elastics. Insert sarcastic YAY! here. I asked the assitant how long, on average, I will probaly have to look forward to looking like an idiot. She replied "until we tell you to stop" thanks lady, you rock!

The best part is my husband ...

I know I should have started this right from the begining but in all honesty I wasn't sure where to begin. Since i am kinda used to haveing this junk in my mouth i figured nows a good a time as any to start.

I have had them for 2 1/2 months right now and seeing TONS of changes. I no longer have vampire teeth and i have four teeth on the bottom in the front, I used to only have three. I have posted an album if your intrested in going to look. I take a picture every month on the 21st ...
