WHERE I'VE GONE (again)

Hi guys,

I AM SO SORRY. I have been ill for two weeks. I had primary dysmenorrhea for one week and for the next week I had severe bowel problems. I have been out of everything and not been 100%. I am back and much better now and I am ready to talk to you.

Good news! My front two teeth are straightening out nicely! They don't overlap as much as they used to which is good. I am at the dentist in the first week of February and then I am at the orthodontist in the last week of March. I am hoping the dentist goes good, because I don't like my dentist at all and I have been trying super hard to keep my oral hygiene in check.

Sixth form is getting stressful. Got lots of work to complete in a short space of time. Got some assessors coming into school to mark work in the second week of February. So if I don't blog for a while again, its because I am trying to get Distinctions and focus on the work in hand.

Anyway, I am going to go now, so hope you have a good weekend!

Bye guys

Day 84:(and a bit) Where I've been

Hi guys,

Where have I been?! Feel like I've been so non existent recently but school has been full on and I have been spending every evening working full stop. Next week I am not going to be able to post until Friday time. This is because I am helping out at a dance show on Monday and Tuesday and then I will be working on school work from Wednesday and Thursday.

Anyway, enough of the rambling. Teeth are doing fine. They are still moving slowly and they are definitely improving. I am not seeing much of a difference by I cannot wait until I can get them off and see the difference that has been made.

Anyway, I am going to go now so I shall be blogging next Friday.

Bye guys

Day 77(and a bit): New term, New Year and New Stuff

Hi guys,

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday, it completely slipped my mind. I started a new term in sixth form yesterday, and my mind was all over the place. I got a new timetable and I got some new units of work to start. So all systems go this month and next month.

It is a new year, so this means that there is new things happening and new goals to achieve. I hope this will be the year I get my braces off *crosses fingers tightly* but I'm not getting my hopes up because anything could happen. I cannot believe its nearly been 100 days with them on.

I don't really have a lot to say to be honest. My teeth are moving fine, school has upped its game and I can drive this year. See you next Monday!

Bye guys

All About My Damon Braces

Hi guys,

Happy New Year! Now I know its a Friday and I post on a Monday but I thought I would explain my Damon Braces to you as I don't have the standard regular braces.

On the right you can see traditional braces with the elastics and hooks and here on the left you can see Damon braces, which are the ones I have.

Damon braces are designed with gates which are on the front of the brackets. This allows the wires to glide easier and therefore move your teeth much faster and more efficiently. Also, people with Damon braces do not have to have teeth extracted or removed, as the rate in which the teeth move is much faster than the traditional braces. Another positive about these braces is that they are self ligating which means that they don't require 'o' ties or elastics as they are commonly known. Other advantages include:

  • A more natural finish compared to the traditional braces
  • You don't have to visit the orthodontist regularly
  • The time you have them on is shorter than the traditional braces
Sorry for rambling, but I thought I would just clear this up for everyone who thought that my brackets looked a bit peculiar.

Bye guys,
