What. My Orthodontist put my brackets one by one 😭

It’s crazy how fast braces work. I should be getting mine off in a few months and it’s been almost 2 years now since I got them on. My teeth went from looking like a scrambled mess to nice and straight.

Things I learned/mistakes I made during my braces journey

1. brushing and flossing - brushing and flossing are very important when wearing braces. I did not take this seriously at the time, and I began to find that I had several cavities as a result of my own fault during my braces journey:)
2. Apply dental wax - Ulser + random cuts from the bracket might be painful at times, so apply dental wax and take pain relievers if necessary.
3. Drink water before going to bed - I used to get cuts from the bracket and the wire, and occasionally my inner lips just got stuck to the wire due to dryness, so I started drinking water before going to bed and it helped.
4. Follow your dentist - they always know if you're lying to them hahaah they don't even have to ask they will know whether you brush floss properly or wore the rubber band it's for your own good.
5. Change the way you eat/bite/ - I learned to cut my food into smaller pieces and chew carefully to avoid the bracket popping out sometimes I even chew food with one side of the mouth especially when the dentist apply new bracket, it might easily pop out when they first applied it so I usually eat soft food for 2 days to avoid anything happen to the new bracket hehe but after that you are good to go just extra be careful when you eat chips and cookies tho especially chip, it doesn't look like much threat but I broke my bracket 2 times eating potato chips 😅. The second reason for me to chew slowly and cut my food is because I want to avoid from getting my food stuck too deep to the bracket because it can be tough to see and brush.
6. If your brackets come out, please see your dentist right away since if you delay your monthly visit, some of the teeth will shift back so they will need to do the moving process for that teeth again and again so it will take a longer time for the braces to come out. And if the same bracket keep popping out you might try to apply less pressure on that side, or try to chew more slowly if the same bracket won't stop popping out even when you don't eat nothing then it's time to visit your dentist and tell them.
7. If you feel discomfort or pain tell your dentist most probably they can help.
8. Avoid using toothpaste that causes this unpleasant sensation. I tried a harsh whitening toothpaste once and had sensitive teeth for three days. It's aching and uncomfortable, and I believe toothpaste is to blame for because once I stop, everything returns to normal, so please don't use strange things on your teeth while wearing braces, and please avoid tapping your teeth because it will result in the same things lol, tried it once and will never do it again because the pain and aching irritate the hell out of me, and I can even feel the sensitive sensation on my teeth when I breathe through my mouth or drink water.
9.in my experience, braces can be annoying. Most of the time, I think it's manageable and okay, but I can't deny that it occasionally causes mood swings for me hahaha but since I choose to wear it, I bare all of that. Just be happy and try to enjoy the process, soon your teeth will become better :).
10. Choose rubber bands/ power chains colours correctly. Its cool feel free to choose any colour you like but if you are someone who don't like to much attention from other people or self conscious etc based on my experience the pretty and "safe colours" will be blue, grey, turquoise, pink, purple, soft blue. The white / transparent colour is okay too I wore it few times but if you lived in Asia countries whereby we eat dishes with turmeric, curry, etc they will for sure stained the rubber bands faster for real. And please don't be surprise when 2 3 weeks from changing to the new rubber bands it started to change to other colours since the food you consume sometimes will be able to change the colours or stained it. For example I once wore soft blue power chain and after drinking lemonade the band colour changes to bit purple ish😆😅. For me the flop colour will be black, red, yellow, green. The black one may look beautiful when you stand close to that person but when they walking and smiling from a far it looks like they have rotten tooth for some reason😅😅😅. But if you want to experience and have fun with the colours go on if you slay you slay anyways ahahahaha. But remember, lemon, turmeric, chili powder, cheese powder and curry( other curry than Japanese curry) will stained the rubber band/ power chain ( depend on the colouring.sometimes it's just a little bit, sometimes you can clearly see the colour changes)

[julietwelter]

I wish it was that cool and perfectly placed! My orthodontist office doesn’t even use the mouth opening things, they don’t used the blue or clear stuff before putting the braces on. All the hygienist does is use a cotton roll thingy and wipe your teeth and then your able to close your mouth while you wait for the 1 orthodontist in the entire office so by the time he gets there your teeth are already wet and he doesn’t re-dry them and he then hand puts the brackets on once he puts the glue ON THE BACK OF THE BRACKETS. It’s so insane I’ve never only seen orthodontist online do such better jobs than my orthodontist place does😭plus I got my braces 2 weeks ago and an I’ve already had to go to the orthodontist a few times in 2 WEEKS!!! Because they don’t re-dry your teeth off, when they put the brackets and the glue on and cure it, it doesn’t actually cure it so literally 1 HOUR after getting them put on, 2 brackets broke off from a SOFT CAKEPOP and then when I went to get them fixed yesterday (it was the only appointment they had so I had to wait 2 weeks) I broke another bracket immediately on a freaking slice of soft pizza, I DIDNT EVEN EAT THE CRUST!!! I was so pissed because once again they didn’t dry off my teeth😭so expensive too

[JocelynMontanez-euwo]

btw guys, the glue is very nasty. I recommend to not put your tongue on your tooth when the glue is on, or at least until it dries, thank ne latter

[trust.it.]

Omg but her natural lashes 😮 so pretty

Make sure your lips are oiled or something u put on your lips because if not it’s going to hurt cause your lips are kinda being moved
