The Train Tracks

And my moment of joy and freedom was short lived. Only long enough for the Ortho to nip out to the next room and get the new brackets….

He put the little forsensic tent up around my mouth again but this time I was more prepared by slathering my lips in Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour creme ( it’s been my staple since I was 20)  so that my lips didn’t crack while he was setting my braces. Putting the brackets on was fine since the old set has just come out and the gaps were already there and then he bonded my little metal blocks to each tooth individually and strung his fencing wire through the gaps. He tightened and replaced the lower wire just for good measure, stating since I was going to be in pain for the top wire I might as well be in pain for the bottom one as well. Gee Thanks!

And I was flicked out to the big wide world as a full on Brace Face…..
