Month 5

23rd January 2013

Yesterday was the day I had been dreading since the day I first discussed braces with my ortho.... Teeth out day!

I have never had any teeth out by a dentist before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. The injections he gave me in the roof of my mouth really hurt, but after that the actual pulling of my teeth wasn't too bad and was over quite quickly. I had my two first premolar teeth out at the top.

They have been abit achey today and a bit tricky to eat. I haven't worn my removable brace since as the dental nurse advised me not to. I will put it back in in a day or two.

I have an appointment with my ortho in two weeks to get my top ceramic braces fitted.
 
 
Here is one of my gaps. You can see how prominent my front teeth are from the side. Not for much longer :)
