Braces For All Faces

That was the motto at the Orthodontics's office I went to. Mrs. Farris, that was her name. Her assistant, Becky told me to sit down in the chair. Then she put this thing on my mouth to pull my lips apart from my mouth and a thing that went over my tongue to suck up all the saliva so the glue stuff can dry. Then she put this blue stuff on my teeth that made microscopic holes in my teeth. The she rinsed it off. After that Becky put some stuff on my teeth that's supposed to feel up the holes. Then Mrs. Farris walked in and glued the brackets on. After that I got to pick out different colors of the brace bands or whatever they're called (the tiny rubber bands that go around the brackets to hold down the wire.) Then they put the wire on and then the brace bands. I got blue and black. Then when I finally thought it was over, they called me back into the office so they could put a "chain" on my teeth. It's a little plastic rubber band in the form of a tiny chain. But that was what it was like getting my braces. I'll take a picture later when my teeth start to straighten up. Then you can see. Even though they are irritating, and I can't eat Doritos, I'll be okay. It's only going to be on for about 2 years. Then I'll get them taken off by my 16th birthday!! But they are a little sore for the first few day after getting them. But I take Ibuprofen so it doesn't hurt so bad. But it WILL be worth it. After they get taken off my teeth, I will have the prettiest smile ever!! But right now, they are straightening up. I'll have to eat soft foods for now though. If you just got braces, or got them tightened, here are some foods that you can eat, and what I've been eating. So here's the link to go to.
