Long Awaited Photos

Hello guys,

Here are some long, LONG awaited photos of my current mouth situation. I feel like its been a very long time since I've sat down and took photos of my teeth and other bits and bobs, so it feels good to be finally showing you whats going on.

As I am typing this, I have been awake for about 6 hours and a few odd minutes. I overslept this morning and woke up at half 12, so please ignore the hoodie and pj top you can see in these photos. Its been a slouchy morning and I have loved every second of it.

 Here are some front profile photos of my teeth. You can see that my teeth are still quite straight and looking really lovely. I'm so excited because I am hoping that because they are straight and my bite has improved that they can come off soon. The day my braces come off and I can smile with lovely straight teeth will be the best day ever! I know I won't be able to stop smiling and I'm going to be taking tonnes of selfies! One thing that does make me a little consious about my teeth is the chip that is on my front tooth. I'm not sure if you can notice it in the top image but you can see it more evidently in the bottom image.

 I'm really not sure what can be done about the chip. Maybe when I get my braces off, it won't bother me as much as it does now. Maybe it could get filled so that it is not as noticeable but I'm really not sure. I remember reading someone else's blog ages ago and they filed the tooth down so that they were all in alignment but I dont really know how I feel about that because the base of my front two teeth are so weak so I'm worried that filing them down will just make it worse. We will have to see but I will see what they look like when they come off and then decide (or if they even come off!).

 Now for the close ups. This is a very close up image of the inside of my mouth and its kind of creepy, so I'm hoping all of you aren't too put off by seeing the inside of my mouth. Anyway, you can see the band situation that is going on in my mouth. I have a band around my top molar and it allows a band to be hooked from the inside to the outside of the bottom molar. In this photo, I have a Gorilla band however, I am meant to try the Butterfly Fish bands (if you have never had braces or never experienced the elastic bands, then you are probably very confused at the moment).

Here are some photos of the elastic bands. As you can see, I've turned into a right little blogger and made this look as fancy as possible and tried to get some good lighting. I hope you appreciate it. Anyway, to the bands. The bands to the left are my Gorilla bands. They have latex in them and are a lot bigger and stretchier than compared to the bands on the right. The bands that can be seen on the right are the Butterfly Fish bands. These bands do not have any latex in them and are smaller and less stretchier than compared to the Gorilla bands. The yellow thing that you can see in this image is a tool that I used for the first week when I had the bands to help me hook the bands to the inside of my mouth. The tool helped so thats good, but I'm not reliant on it anymore.


So thats a quick photo update for you all! I hope all of you are well. I'm not at school anymore which is amazing. I have one exam in June but aside that, I am a finished student! I don't think its really sunk in that I've finished, but we can wait until prom for that to sink in. Its going to be weird getting to next Monday and not having to get up to get the bus and go to school.

Another update; I've booked my driving test! Eeek! It's at the end of June and I'm excited and nervous all at once. Fingers crossed that I pass so that I can drive and have so much freedom and go wherever I want to. If it gets to July though and I haven't mentioned anything about it, just assume that I failed. I turn 18 in July which is also exciting. I think I'm going clubbing which will be cool, I'm a little worried though because I'm a lightweight so it won't take me long to be drunk and if we stay out for a long time, I hate to think what I'll be like at the end of it.

Anyway, see you soon!
Bye guys.
