    Exclamation (Braces off day) So i went to the ortho...

    Hey guys, i am really feeling a lot less worried and anxious about my teeth now as i was due to get my braces off today, but i when i lay back in the chair the woman (nicer one) asked me if i was happy with everything, i spoke up YAY! and i said how i dont think my bite is correct, she asked me who i was with, i said my mum, so they called her inn, she got a picture up of how my teeth where when i first started off, "WOW REALLY EFFIN MESSED UP!!" I was really horrified and shocked as to how my teeth used to look prior to getting braces, anyhoww the ortho explained to my mum how theirs 3 primary occlusions/forms of bites, Class 1 which is also known as the "perfect/normal" bite, Class 2 is where the upper teeth protrude really far out infront of the lower teeth this also known as a "overbite/jet/deep bite", Class 3(which i am) where my teeth are borderline (so teeth touching but my lowers sitting just a slight i mean a slight bit infront of my upper teeth" so that being said i am so relieved i am not getting them off today, she said she will have a word with my main ortho (the one who i don't like) and ask if there's anything she can do to bring my top teeth more to be a class 1 bite, lol she said "suck your thumb" might help hehe i lolled, anyways so i gotta go in next week on the 9th of February for a consultation/review with my ortho to see what she can do about improving my bite.

    So for any of you that where in my boat, - SPEAK UP!! Say what your problem is with them and they will help you
    Yeah it'll mean you have metal on your teeth for a bit longer but if you've had them on for 3 years like me its worth the wait - trust me!

    If you have any questions or would like to keep track or to see what can be done about my bite, then follow my blog, BraceFace, don't forget to follow and tell your friends

    Bye for now

    I'm so glad to hear that you were able to tell them your concerns, and that you'll be having additional consults with your ortho to fix your bite. I would've hated to see you waste 3 years wearing braces, and have your teeth not turn out as you wanted.

    I LOL'd at the "suck your thumb" comment. I started out as a severe Class II due to excessive thumb-sucking as a child, and though the overjet has diminished a bit, it's still there. However, I tried to suck my thumb just for kicks, and I couldn't do it! It doesn't fit comfortably in there anymore!

    Good luck next week!
