6days...

hi guys,

So it is officially 6days until my next orthodontist appointment. I have begun to like going to the orthodontist more, they are much more different than dentists. For one, they don't jab your teeth with that awkward tool.

Anyway, in 6days (according to the letter they gave me) they will be going through my plan of treatment and fitting my braces. Fingers crossed the next blog post I do I will have braces. *fingers crossed*

When I go for my next appointment, afterwards I will do a post on what happened and what they did(if they do anything).

Until then..

Bye guys

photos...

hi guys,

Today is the day you have been waiting for... the photos.

PLEASE NOTE: I am extremely insecure about these next few images, and it has token lots of guts and confidence to put these up. These photos are from Year 3 upwards.

This photo is from year 3. I was missing a few teeth as they had fell out. my front two teeth were extremely big and crooked.

This is probably the most embarrassing photo. My teeth that fell out, have grown back, which kind of pushed my front two teeth forward. EMBARRASSING.

 This is year 5. I hate my teeth in this. They are like big and overcrowded and gross. And they stick out.

This was my last year at primary. My brother is in this one, but its all about the teeth. I think you can see how bad they are, so I'm not going to go into much detail.

 

The next two images are my teeth today..

Ergh, I hate these two images, but I did one from the side and one straight on. The on that is straight on, that isn't my smile, I did this smile weirdly so you could see how crooked my teeth are. The front tooth on the right of the top photo is wonky and has a chip in it. I have no idea how this occurred. My other front tooth is fine... well kind of. The front 6 at the top are so far forward, you can't see my bottom teeth(they are wonky as well, but not as much.

So that's it... some photos of my teeth.

bye guys..

orthodontic assessment...

hi guys,

Today at 11:30am I had to go to the orthodontist for my assessment. I was really scared but they gave me a letter explaining what would be happening over the next few appointments, so I felt a little bit more at ease.

The first thing that happened was I had my teeth looked at and they decided if I needed braces or not. To my delight they said yes. They also didn't mention anything about taking teeth out. BONUS!

Then I had to have two x-rays done, which felt weird and was quite uncomfortable as I had this thing to hold my head straight with but it was over really fast. I also got to see my x-rays which was so cool.

After that, I was took into another room for pictures and impressions. First was pictures where I had to have six pictures done. Then it was impressions. This is when they take a big tray and fill it with this pink cement like stuff. They have a tray for the bottom teeth and a tray for the top teeth. They place this tray on your teeth and hold it there for 30seconds. The cement tasted really gross and stuck to my gums, but that only took 1 minute so it was fine. Finally she put some warm wax and stuck it to my bottom teeth and told me to bite really hard. This made another mould of my teeth.

Then it was all over. My next appointment is on the 6th of September at 11:20am. On the letter I was given it says my next appointment is talking through the plan of what they are going to do and hopefully fitting my braces. I am really excited now for my next appointment and can't wait to share it with you.

I promised photos ages ago, and I promise they will be up tomorrow or later on today if I can find 4 working batteries. Until then..

bye guys

4days

hi guys,

I was going to post yesterday but I had no time to because I was at a wedding.

So it is officially 4days until my orthodontic assessment. I am starting to get scared but I'm really excited to because I have wanted to get my teeth sorted out forever ago.

I did promise photos but my camera ran out of battery yesterday so I'm getting some new batteries and then I'll put some up sometime tomorrow or the next day.

My Teeth Story..

hi everyone.

Since the age of 5, my teeth have not been the prettiest of teeth. I was picked on about them. As I started to grow older, my teeth got more crocked and much more uglier. I have always hated them, which is why I asked my dentist if he thought I needed braces. He said yes and referred me to an orthodontist last September, where I was then put on a waiting list for roughly a year.

11months passed and no letter or phone call from the orthodontist. My mum rung up the orthodontist I was referred to and asked where I was on the waiting list. They explained how one of the orthodontist's had left so my referral wouldn't be until November of this year. However the orthodontist did recommend a brand new orthodontist that had opened and said they didn't have a long waiting list. My mum asked how long the waiting list was and it was 2weeks.

So we phoned up the orthodontist we was recommended to and they said to call our dentist and get them to refer you to us. So we did and on the 8th August this year I got a letter through the post. It was the orthodontist, saying they wanted to see me on the 22nd August at 11:30am for an orthodontic assessment. I was so happy and thrilled and I am now counting the days down.

I hope I don't need any teeth removed, and I hope that I can get braces soon. Photos will be coming up very soon, but until then...

Bye guys
