Last Monday was the beginning of what is going to be a long 3 year journey for me. It's only been a week, I already hate eating not only because it hurts but because that means I have to brush & floss which takes me 30 mins. I hate talking to people because my lips tend to get caught on my brackets & occasionally my excess saliva comes shooting out. Don't say I didn't warn you! I just keep telling myself that in the end it will all be worth it & it totally will be. So here is the game plan, as you can see (in the picture below) how messed up my teeth really are-
Top, I will have braces on for about 2 years which will push back my canines (back to where they belong) & I will get implants to fill in the gaps. Bottom- I will have on for 3 because I had a bone anchor put in to pull 2 teeth forward, which you can see on the bottom left.

Yay for braces! They look great!
I was just looking at my teeth this morning...someday.
(But it'll be my second time, darn retainer broke.)
A bone anchor? That sounds really painful!
Sounds terrible huh? I was so afraid of getting it put in, but honestly I never have felt any pain. The braces were really so much worse.
Ouch...I will be getting braces soon too! This makes me a little nervous, but at least I won't be alone :)
