Orthadontics Tomorrow

[Thermal]

Having had braces myself a few years ago, I can tell you that it's an utter pain in the bum, so much more work in the mornings and before bed, because you've got to use the special wire brushes to clean between the gaps of the brace itself, in addition to your standard toothbrush.

You'll have to avoid certain foods (harder sweets, chewing gum, certain fruit and such), you won't be able to bite your nails if you do (my brace helped me kick that habit, heh), and you'll have to be really careful not to break the wires (they snap surprisingly easily). And then there's the retainers afterwards which are just as much of a pain, if not moreso.

The end result is a fantastic set of straight teeth though, so it's totally worth it in the end. You'll be glad when you look in the mirror and smile, for sure. :3

Thanks for the advice, I know it will be a pain but my teeth are just horrible lol

@Subotan

Braces, then retainers after, the orthadontist reckons I'll have them for around 18 months, sounds fun....

Edit: Hmm, I posted this on saturday, the appointment is monday, but it is tomorrow now
