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. ...
So, the first week in braces is coming to the end. Its actually been a very normal week, other than my appointment to get my braces on. I have managed to really adjust to my braces to the point that I forget I have them which is great!

I started an album today and uploaded some photos. Despite being terrible quality since I took them with my cell phone and emailed them to myself its better than none.

So I got my braces on today and I'm very happy. The procedure was quick and painless. A tiny bit of discomfort at times but overall great. I got my ceramics on top which I'm very happy about, I also got "Stain resistant" ligatures, well see how that goes. As for the bottom I got metal braces with metal (silver) Ligatures. Had to watch a very childish video about dental hygiene which was very basic and mostly commonsense. I also revived a boring dental kit from GUM, with the normal bits ...

Attachment 50 I had two extractions yesterday both on my lower (no.5's) to make room for the teeth to straighten. I've never had any extractions or surgery before so was quite apprehensive about it. I was heavily sedated (not put completely under) and can't remember a thing after the drip was put in my arm and they put sunglasses on me. Next thing I know I was picked up off the dental chair and sat outside with a pulse monitor on my finger. It ...
