So 1 year ticked over to 1.5 years pretty damn quickly, makes sense when I add that I now have a 7 month old baby.
I got my first complement the other day “so when are your braces coming off? your teeth look perfect” so it got my hopeful, I think they are coming off soon….I hope they are coming off soon!
So much happens those first few months of braces, your teeth move so quickly and you think this is going to be done before you know it but then things slow down and those last slight changes take the longest.
Looking back it doesn’t feel too long, nor has it been a pain. The only painful part was when you constantly get asked when they are coming off!!! what? do they look that horrible?
I have been happy for them to come off for the past 6 months although my orthodontist is a perfectionist and she notices things that I don’t and really don’t care about, although I pointed out to her that my front right tooth has moved in quite a bit at my last appointment, yes I’m aware that it might add some time to my journey but this I care about, this i mind.
Since I am a Mum now, plus I’ve reached the 30 milestone, I have decided to treat myself when my braces evenually leave my mouth with a you’beaut electric toothbrush (boring) and botox, just in one spot. That will be an extra interest comparison photo. What for that one!
