Adult Braces

The first person that comes to mind when I think of adult braces is Miranda Hobbs from Sex & the City . Although I am not that old and I am a real person as apposed to a character on my FAVORITE television show this is where my mind has lead me. I got braces almost 4 weeks ago. Unlike many people I was really excited because I have wanted straight teeth for a very long time. I think all my friends thought I had gone temporarily  insane because I was giddy. I was counting down the days to get my spacers and then on 1/24/13 I got my top row of braces. I had watched several videos on YouTube about how the process would go down so I knew just want to expect. Except the freezing cold mold that the assistant placed in my mouth for me to bite down on.  I felt like a polar bear offered me a piece of gum. HORRIBLE . Then the back brackets were like someone was trying to shave my teeth down on purpose.  But minus those two things I have a top plate full of shiny metal and gray rubber bands. No one had really made a big deal about the magnets I had in my mouth until I went to Mardi Gras. One of my wonderful friends couldn’t even take me seriously after I tried to warmly welcome her to the partying corner that we were standing on.  Other than that so far soo good. Ill leave you with pictures to satisfy your imagination.                                                                                                ( excuse the lack of moisture )
