Essay on.. Random Things..

hi guys,

BONJOUR! HAPPY TUESDAY! I'M ON STUDY LEAVE! WOOP!

Lets tell you about my brace seeing as my blog is about the relevant topic. Its been a pain recently. Sometimes when I wear my bottom brace, my gums swell up around near the back of my front four lower teeth. This results in soreness and cuts on my gums. I have been told by my orthodontist that if this happens then I have to file it down with a nail file, which I did and now it is fine.

Today I gained a pesky coldsore on my lip. It hurts and stings so much but hey I'll survive. I've had frozen fruit on it for a while and it has kind of gone down which is great. I think the main reason why it has popped up: STRESS.

I've also started to panic about when I get my teeth removed in July/August time. I've done loads of research into other peoples experiences which helped a little. I mainly looked on the student room which is a great chat room, where students can chat and express any worries or concerns they have. I'm still nervous though so if anyone has had 4 teeth removed before, can you direct message me on my twitter (@dehrhiaaan) and let me know any advice or even recommend any websites that offer good advice too. This would make me happy.

Anyway, I'm off to revise Physics so I hope this little blog was helpful to anyone with a coldsore or cuts on their gums due to the twin block.

Bye guys,

P.S: NEXT APPOINTMENT 33 days!

PHOTOS...

Hi guys,

Happy 1st June! So I was pondering yesterday evening, and decided to take a photo of my teeth, just smiling normally and compare it to a photo which I took on the 6th May. Here is the photo comparison:

 I was completely gobsmacked. Not only are my teeth whiter, but they appear straighter and they look healthier! I'm so proud of my oral hygiene and the cleanliness of my teeth!(IN THE TOP PHOTO, I AM NOT SMILING PROPERLY, I'M JUST DOING A WEIRD SMILE..)







 I then decided to compare it to an old and familiar photo which was token before any treatment started. Here it is:


ONE WORD: WOW! Not only has the colour dramatically changed, but the front two teeth have moved a lot and my smile has improved loads! You can now see my bottom teeth when I smile!! I'm so happy with how treatment is going so far!
I still have a very long way to go but I can't believe the difference that has been made.

I have decided to upload to this blog on a Tuesday, Thursday and a Saturday. I know today is a Sunday but I really wanted to let you guys see the difference in wearing an expander and a twin block!

Bye guys.

P.S: next appointment: 35 days!

APOLOGY..

Hi guys,

SORRRYYY! I feel like I always apologise for the lack of posts but life got  very hectic very quickly. I thought I would explain what is going on right now including teeth wise!

Life wise- So, its currently exams week(finals week if you live in America). The last two weeks(12th-16th and 19th-23rd) have been jam packed with 7 exams. I am currently on my half term(again spring break if you live in America). After the half term I have two more weeks of exams and then I am on my summer half term. This is when photos and frequent blog posts will be happening(after the 13th June).

Teeth wise- everything is going fab. Teeth are still on the move. My next appointment I believe is on the 7th July. They say I won't have to wear my twin block during the day but only at night time. They also said while I am wearing that at night time, I should get my 4 teeth extracted and then I should get my braces. This should be around October, November time.

I AM SO EXCITED TO MOVE ON FROM THE TWIN BLOCK! IT IS SUCH A PAIN TO WEAR!

Again sorry for the lack of blog posts. I was thinking of doing specific days in which I upload a blog post. Let me know on my twitter which is my personal one @dehrhiaaan

Bye guys.

appointment blog/vlog...

Hi guys,

This isn't going to be a video but I thought it would be cool to document at what time I did what yesterday.

2:30pm-I left the prison of school and got into the car.

3:15pm-I got to the orthodontist and sat in the waiting room and waited for my name to pop up on the screen.

3:40pm-I'm out and off home.

That's literally it. I will now go into what my orthodontist said.

He said I have to wear my twin block for another 3months and then when I go back I should be able to only wear it at night. Whilst I am wearing that at night, to speed up the process of getting my train tracks, they will extract the four teeth whilst I am wearing it at night time. Then I will get my train tracks.

My next appointment is on the 7th of July which is 4 days before my prom. I should hopefully get my train tracks around September-ish.

Bye guys

P.S: there will be a lack of blogs as I have exams in May and June, but after the 13th June, blogs will be more frequent. There will also be more photo blogs.

MORE APOLOGIES..

Hi guys,

Again sorry for the inconvenient lack of blog posts. It is exam week and I have to revise and I don't have the time. My next appointment is on the 22nd April in the 3:20pm. I have been noticing how much easier it is to talk without my brace in and how much easier it is to brush my teeth and smiling is considerably easier.

I promise that after my last exam (13th June) there will be more posts and more photos and more blogging-goodness.

Oh, and I deleted my twitter account as I don't really use it very often so I decided that it was easier to just have a blog instead.

Bye guys,

LONG TIME, NO BLOG...

Hi guys,

Sorry for no blog, life's been hard. Mouth is still on the move, but getting a bit fed up of having to remove it all the time and clean it all the time and it's just annoying. Can't wait until I get my real ones, won't have to remove it or anything. I also hate how my mouth doesn't shut fully it's annoying..

O well, rant over. Next appointment is in April.

Bye guys,
