Observing others!

It does feel like time has slowed down waiting for these 2 weeks to pass and get back to the dentist to have my plate fitted. I just want to get it started! I’m getting used to the spacers now, they really only bug me after i’ve finished my food and i’m constantly thinking i’ve still something  stuck in my teeth. I think that’s a sensation i’m going to have to get used to for the next 2 years…..

One thing I have observed is how many other people i’ve noticed in Braces! I work in a public job and see and talk to people all day but this week i’ve really noticed everyone’s teeth! I never took much notice of teeth before unless they were obviously missing or someone had lipstick colouring them but this week i’ve become some sort of Jaw Monitor. It’s actually been quite distracting but I’m really seeing how many people have terrible teeth!! I’ve also noticed all the people about with braces, and how many adults are actually going through this process. There’s quite a few, but they tend to be quietly keeping their mouth shut!

It does make me feel better that i’m actually doing something proactive about my teeth now, and I can see when i’m dealing with clients how the shape of the face and posture of the neck is attributed to their jawline and teeth placement and I want to offer them my orthodontist’s card!

Bring on the Braces…
