Braces Update, November 19, 2009
I’m beginning to get more antsy than usual regarding when these braces will finally be taken off. Feels like I’ve had them on forever. Pink elastic ligatures this time. Dr. B placed an elastic band on my bottom lower front teeth to close a gap that was forming. My gums were sore for almost two days, which thankfully I haven’t experienced in quite a while. I’m also tired of the brackets pushing against the inside of my mouth (causes closed sores); a problem which is unrelieved even with the use of ortho. wax- a problem which you’ve already heard me whine about way too many times. Oh, I really need some moral support.  My family keeps asking me when the braces will finally come off and the truth is, I haven’t a clue since Dr. B doesn’t feel comfortable in giving me a definitive response. I keep telling myself, THINK swan, swan, swan…..
