Hi guys,
Sorry for lack of posts. Not a lot has been happening. I was sick the other night(10th) so I couldn't wear my brace that night because vomit kept getting stuck in it. Yeah that's about it for teeth.
My prom was on the 11th and it was AMAZING! Maybe I will do a prom blog post and include pictures for you to look at. I also what to do some more tags because there is really not a lot happening this summer regarding my mouth and my nashers(teeth).
Bye guys,

Talking about the night routine
Hi guys,
The night routine I am currently doing with the twin block is going really good. It feels really weird not wearing it after eating meals and wearing it during the day. It feels really good not having to wear it during the day, and because I don't have to wear it during the day, my confidence has increased immensely.
I changed my appointment because it was originally on the 9th September, however that is the day I start sixth form, so we decided to change it to the 23rd September at 3:45pm so that I could get used to being in sixth form for a few weeks.

EXCITING BLOG
Hi guys,
Today is the day I tell you all the important news!
Here is a photo of my teeth this morning at around 11ish:
I deeply apologise for the poor quality, my camera has no working
batteries so I can't take professional photos. My front two teeth have really straightened out however this makes my chip in my tooth more prominent. I don't actually know how I got this chip, but I have had it for a while now.
Anyway, onto what the orthodontist said. They said that Phase 1 is over! I have to wear my twin block at night time. My next appointment is on the 9th September where the main orthodontist will talk about Phase 2 which is extractions! I'm so happy and I can't stop smiling it's really weird but I love it.
Finally moving on!
Bye guys

Questions on the Twin Block
Hi guys,
2days and I'm back at the orthodontist! But I thought I'd answer a few questions before I (hopefully) no longer have to wear it.
1. How long have you had to wear the Twin Block for?
I got mine on the 27th of January and they said I would have it for 6 months. It has roughly been six months and I'm going back this Monday to talk about what will happen.
2. Does it hurt at first?
Mine did hurt at first for about an hour but then I took some ibuprofen and I was fine, but yes it was sore and uncomfortable.
3. Did you have to remove it for eating?
Yes I did have to do this, but I know many people who didn't have to remove it, but to eat with the twin block is virtually impossible.
4. How do you clean your Twin Block?
I use cold water and brush over the surface of the brace with a soft bristled toothbrush. You can use toothpaste if you wish but I don't because my orthodontist told me not to do that.
5. What does the Twin Block do?
My Twin Block pushes my top jaw backwards and my bottom jaw forwards because I used to have a 7.5mm overbite which needed to be sorted out. Some people have the twin block but there's might do the opposite. It depends on your bite.
6. What would you recommend for someone who has just got the Twin Block?
Wear it, because I have been quite bad with mine and that's why after my appointment on Monday, I still have to wear it at night. Also, you will have a lispe and you won't want to wear it but trust me it will improve the more you speak and the more you wear it and practice. When you first get the Twin Block, your lips won't meet and you'll look a bit funny but you'll get used to that as your mouth gets used to it.
I hope this helped anybody who is getting the Twin Block or has the Twin Block right now and wants a bit of advice. I will next be posting on Monday sometime in the afternoon/evening.

Exciting things..
Hi guys,
HAPPY JULY! Lots of exciting things are happening this month (including teeth!).
7th July- orthodontist appointment
11th July- prom
18th July- helping out at a balloon race
20th July- my birthday
Now, I know there is not very many exciting teeth things, but I'm hoping that I will have some appointment at the end of July involving extractions. And this means photos, longer blogs, and more blogs which is good. I feel like I am boring you with the same old cliché scenarios each time I post. I'm sorry if I do but its all just going so slow and I sometimes don't know what to talk about. I hope you can understand.
Anyway, keep excited because this month is going to be full of celebrations, and sunshine and all good things!
