2 Months, 28 Days

Not this yellow—promise! I have no idea why my back teeth keep coming up overly yellow and stained. Nevertheless,  I will definitely be getting some sort of whitening to finish off my perfect smile post-braces.

T-minus Braces Lift-off

I went to my orthodontist today and was greeted with some excellent news. He said I was "looking terrible" with loads of sarcasm, and sprung something great on me, great and wonderful being that I'll be in braces for the shortest time possible, he said with restraint.

I'll still be wearing them for however long necessary, but it'll be the shortest that he can make it. This was sweet honey to my ears! Maybe I should say teeth—but mouth might be more fitting! Hell, sweet honey to my teeth.

I asked about how much longer it would be, and I'm pretty sure he said about 6 months, but it might have been 8, but I'm pretty sure it was 6—I was too excited to register it accurately! I walked right out of there smiling and smiling. I can predict waterworks when they finally come off, I just know it.

2 Months, 7 Days—Underbite-be-Gone!

Such a happy chappy—my teeth have gone over! Can't you see the gorgeous smile happening and waiting to shine? My underbite is actually gone, good riddance. I am so happy I could smile!

I popped into my orthodontist for the second time this month because I noticed yet another ligature—or as they refer to here as a module—was missing. He put a new one in it's place and I also got a new upper archwire while he was at it. It's a little bit thicker and it's starting to hurt already.
