I decided to get braces. I know I am not a teenager, but I never had them and thought it would be a great idea. They hurt. They are annoying. I am forever pulling my top lip over the braces- it annoys my family-I think that's funny that they are annoyed.
I have to carry a purse now, never did before but the tooth brush, tooth paste, flossers, tooth picks and wax need to be at my beck and call! I do hope people will tell me when I have a chunk of food in my teeth-my dignity needs some assistance.
Sometimes I feel vain for having them because they are merely cosmetic. Have you noticed that everyone has wonderfully straight teeth? I want some as well!
I feel like lying to people when they ask why, "well I was doing this photo shoot for Ski Magazine and I launched this cliff, I stuck the landing but proceeded to nick a rock under the blanket of snow and took a face plant and knocked all my teeth out!" It sounds better than I want nice teeth.
My braces only have to be on for 6 or so months-everyone tells me my dentist is lying-that's impossible! "I had braces for 3 years and my mouth was filled with metal for all my teen years" 6 months that's what he is saying! I like him.
It is tough to smile with these braces on because the brackets razor off the skin on the inside of my mouth every time I do that. It hasn't really stopped me except, I don't have to laugh at people who are not funny but I feel obligated to gafaw because it's awkward. This way I don't laugh and have an excuse!
I didn't realize working out would dry out my braces and my mouth. I have to constantly splash water in there to keep from coughing and the teeth sticking to the braces. Great, I look like a women with the white man's overbite- super attractive.
By the way you can "make out" with braces on. FYI!
