Braces


I'm trying to think positive thoughts about the possibility of positives this month, but it's getting hard. Don't ask me why, I'm only 10DPO. I have been really hopeful until yesterday. Of course I always seem to get a little down when Mr. W is out of town, so I'll blame that for now.

On the good side. If this month is a bust, I'M GETTING BRACES!!! I've wanted and needed them since I was little, and my time has finally come!!!

As you can tell, my teeth are crooked. They overlap and they tilt and they're just plain crooked. I've even had teeth removed! Besides my wisdom teeth, I've had one of my eye teeth and both of my stomach teeth removed (see the red Xs on the pic) because they were protruding from the gum in front of my other teeth. Before I can get my braces put on, I have to have my remaining eye tooth removed. Ouch! Then I'll have braces on for about 18 months and then I'm sure I'll have my teeth whitened. I AM SO EXCITED!!!

But of course I'll be even happier if I have to wait an additional 36 weeks to get them. :-)

That's very exciting! I had braces for 3 years in high school - my teeth were way more trucked up than yours were, so don't feel bad. :) Before I got braces, I had to have all 4 of my first bicuspids (I don't know what that means, but I like the word "bicuspid" :) pulled too. the bottom two were growing in, like towards my tounge. Then last year I got all 4 wisdom teeth out. So in total I have 8 less teeth than I should have and I have no clue how I would fit them all in my mouth now.

Lots of luck!

Wow, braces! I always wanted them when I was a kid even though I didn't need them.

Ug. My teeth are hurting just thinking about braces. While I'm sure the outcome will be incredible, they really suck while you have them.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. As I said, I just got internet at home (WOOOHOOO!!!) so I'll be catching up on the blogosphere this weekend - I'll be sure to settle in here for a bit and learn about you! :-)
