you only get to wear braces for 2-3 months? how lucky... I had braces for 2 years! :lmao: but at least my teeth are straight now... lolthe braces will hurt more than the wisdom teeth getting pulled...in my opinion. with the wisdom teeth, you at least get put to sleep and are offered pain killers after that. with braces, you will be awake and feel the WHOLE thing. plus, the week before you get them in, they have to put spaces/separators in your mouth. those hurt the most. haha i haven't been able to eat properly for the last 13 days, and i've lost some weight. but it doesn't look good at all....literally. my skin is pale and dried out, and when i smile there are those old lady type creases in my cheeks. it looks gross. the good news, however, is that my teeth will straighten out in about two to three months. the only reason why most people have to wear it for like two years sometimes is because the teeth needs to get use to staying the way it's being adjusted to stay.
as for the deep cleaning, i had to go through a lot of that crap too. thank gawd they numbed me...although i did still feel some stuff. but yeh, my mouth was horrible. gums were horrible, bone density was horrible, EVERYTHING was horrible. before i could get to this point, i had to see the dentist quite often..and for some big procedures.
just look at it with a big picture. your mouth is the key to all health. everything passes through there. if you have to take care of it, do it all the way or else it could come back and haunt you. lol
you're a student nurse? I'm a student nurse as well!ooh im a student nurse, i should practice what i preach. lol. the last time i went to the dentist was like 5 years ago. i did get a physical last year only because it was required for my nursing program. and i did get an eye exam last year because i needed contacts. so im due this year for my eye exam. and im really contemplating about the dentist. my husband wants to go get his teeth cleaned so maybe ill man up and go with him. lol. i just absolutely HATE the dentist. i know they are going to yell at me.
hahaha no, i have to wear them for two years too. i was just saying that you see results as soon as two or three months. a lot of people who use to have braces told me. lolyou only get to wear braces for 2-3 months? how lucky... I had braces for 2 years! :lmao: but at least my teeth are straight now... lol
speaking of wisdom tooth, my dentist told me I have to get a surgery to pull them out... wtf... my wisdom teeth on my lower jaw are both impacted and surgery is the only way to get them out... I know his hands are itching to slice up my gums and take those babies out but I'm too scared...
lol is it slow?LOL

this is what I hate during holidays!! argh!! everyone is home...they dragged me away from my PC... my bro and sis are fighting over it now... hahahaha... good thing we have an ancient laptop here that nobody wants to use except me!

no damn wonder i always thought your teeth were so straight and perfect in your pictures. u had braces. hahaha i'm gonna whiten my teeth after they come off too. i hope they come out as nice as yours. hahaomg thookatha... I thought you had to wear braces for just 2-3 months too! I had to wear mine for almost 3 years! :lmao: but i'm sooo glad it's off! After I got them off, my gosh, it felt soooo weird! I was like "finally!! freedom!!!" I was finally able to chew gum. :loool: no more worrying about getting them stuck in my braces.
Shoot after the braces, my teeth were yellow! I had to whiten them bitches.
it hurts because your teeth are moving in various ways. first, they put in spacers/separators to open up gaps in between your teeth, then a week later or something, they put these metal things in your molars to replace the spacers, wrap wires around your teeth, and literally tighten them up. throughout this whole process, your teeth are forcibly moving...not naturally. and the new annoying thing about it right now (in addition to the already existing pain) are the pointy, coarse, metals which are constantly rubbing against the inner tissue walls of your mouth. i got gray...i think. LOLhow are braces hurtful? i want mine pink or gray. DUH it comes in gray. lol.jk, light pink or hot pink or darkish grey. do uguys still have ur wisdom tooth btw neighbors?
