It’s ironic to think that having braces will help you to learn to accept yourself but it’s true. The final result is a beautiful smile, of course it takes a while before it gets there. In the mean time you can only embrace it and learn to feel empowered rather than disadvantaged by something you are already actively trying to improve.
And on that note, I’ve chose a bright turquoise despite having to go for interviews this month (there is no reason to feel shy). The coil is there to hold the gap and a metal tie wire is wrapped around my incisor’s bracket to continue tilting the root for the dental implant. No power chain, but you can see how my teeth are now aligned in the middle! I believe I will get a cleaning this month and will update when that happens.
Until then, see you on July 12th.
2.7 months in braces and counting.
