Getting closer.....

Well here I am another appointment closer to the end, getting a little excited!

This time he actually said another 2 months, so I really am hoping that he means this and doesn't keep extending it.

My appointment was pretty straight forward, he ground some off my front teeth to even them up after years of them being uneven and wearing at an angle, and he put a linked elastic on the bottom to pull them straight, but otherwise nothing much happened.

Last time I said I was getting some bands to sleep in. He changed his mind and said I didn't need them, but on the next appointment he would sort out the remaining gap at the front. Where I had previously had the bendy wires to pull them together, it has opened up again, so I have lost some of my bite, back to removing lettuce from my burger before eating again, otherwise it ends up down my chin. So I wonder what he has in store for me when I go back again.

I am very excited about it all coming to an end, but I also don't tell people, because I still don't believe that in 2 months he will take them off, fingers crossed though. I am looking forward to having them cleaned again, and being able to clean them properly myself, I have loads of tea and wine stains again, I know it is my lifestyle that has done it, but trying to clean round the brackets isn't easy.

As I said previously my niece should be getting a brace too, although it keeps getting put back, I was telling my sister all about it and she is now in the thinking that she will be cleaning her daughters teeth for her all the time she has it on, I pointed out that a 11 year old probably doesn't drink as much red wine and tea as me, so it may not be such a problem!

I am that excited about having my teeth back that I have even bought a new toothbrush, a nice electric one, I did have one previously but it broke and I didn't see the point of getting a new one when it just gets ruined when brushing over the wires and brackets, but since I am now that close to the end I though it was time.

So let's hope that the countdown is defiantly on now........
