Brace Face

Ooohhh how i dont miss having braces. I finally got re-braced last week and am now enjoying the pleasures of metal in the mouth. I have the clear brackets on the top and metal on the bottom so they are less noticeable. So far so good. I have already broken one bracket on the weekend (oops) but thats because the orthodontist placed it too low on the tooth. I thought i had done something wrong as i was on a wine cruise at that time and couldnt tell you what i did let alone how the bracket broke ha ha. But now i have a band that has come off so im forever at the moment returning to the orthodontists. How many months of this to go? :)

Nothing new to report in terms of surgery. At the moment we are just aligning the teeth for my new bite and playing the waiting game. In other news though i have bought a house (yay) and im moving in at the end of May which is scary but exciting at the same time. But im moving in with my gorgeous friend Ailsa who is beautiful in every respect and who i know will be so supportive.
Until then, i hope everyone is enjoying their journey and that its not too bumpy :)

I know exactly how you feel! And having braces as an adult is so much different from have them as a teenager. They were like a right of passage then, now they are awkward and seem to be an ice breaker whenever you meet someone. I don't know how many times someone has randomly come up to me and started asking about my mouth... :) Anyway, it will be over before you know it. I have had mine on for almost a year now and in just a few days I'm about to have lower jaw surgery. Once I recover, 3 to 6 more months of braces and then I can look like a 25 yr old again! Time will fly and in the meantime, you've got a whole network of us out here that are right there with you! Best wishes to you and many blessings. :) ~Katherine
