17DAYS

Hi guys,

17 days! Eeeeeeek! Now that it's real that I'm getting my braces it's almost like I just want them now, but also now that I know it's happening, every social media I go on, there is someone or something to do with braces. It's like it's haunting me!

I've started to watch more braces 101 type videos just to get ideas and tips on looking after them and caring for them. I've also prepared a day on the 15th October where I'm going to eat all the foods and drink all the drinks that I won't be able to from the 16th onwards. This will consist of:


  • Hard candy
  • Caramel
  • Toffee
  • Pizza crusts
  • Nuts 
  • Popcorn
  • Crusty bread
  • Corn on the cob
  • Tortillas
  • Chewing gum
And I have to be careful not to chew on pens, pencils, ice and bones that you get with chicken and to avoid foods with hidden sugars. This is probably the only part about braces I'm not looking forward to, but everything else I'm looking forward to. 

Be prepared for some photo type blogs soon, because when I do have my braces I'm going to do monthly photos of my teeth and stuff and then make a collage of them at the end of my braces process. Also I'm thinking of doing some tip blogs (cleaning, looking after them, what I use with my braces, do's and don'ts) or Q&A style blogs so be prepared for that.

Bye guys

I'm back, exciting news and life updates...

Hi guys,

I'm back! A-levels are a lot harder than I thought and I'm finding it a bit difficult to find time at the moment to blog and catch up. But I had my orthodontist appointment today and I have a LOT to say. So be prepared...

I'm getting fixed braces on the 16th October! AND NO EXTRACTIONS! Basically my orthodontist wants to start with no extractions at first and then if he feels that I need to have teeth removed during the process, then he can just pop the brackets off, remove the teeth and then but the brace back on! I cannot put into words how happy I am about my next appointment! I'm getting a type of fixed brace which doesn't have colours on them at first, but after a while he said I could start to get colours on my braces.

I am sorting out my camera this week, so I can prepare for some photos for the blog. I feel as though words don't really cut the biscuit, whereas photos can speak for themselves. I will try my absolute hardest to get a blog routine together, however A-levels have kind of took over my life at the moment.

So yeah, I hope you guys are just as excited as I am! I'm finally moving on!

Bye guys,
