Mini post: just got braces

Just got braces a few hours ago. The process wasn't that bad. I didn't like the device they used to make my brackets stick to my teeth. The device is called LED orthodontic metal curing light and it uses LED light to make the brackets stay in place and make the glue or bonding cement dry faster. The blue light makes my head hurt. After an hour, my teeth hurt now(I think it's more discomfort than hurt ). The discomfort is from the new device (contraception) in my mouth. The pain is from having my teeth tightened. I couldn't brown rice, eggs, and vegetables well. >.< I had Annie Chun's Udon soup for lunch. My rubber bands are teal colour.

I’m getting braces!

Hi, I am going to get braces in a week, March 6th. My orthodontist said I'd have my braces on for about two years. I am also getting four teeth extracted. I got spacers just a week ago. I will be have my spacers on for two weeks. Spacers are tiny rubbers that go in between your molars to make room for the braces. After I get my braces on, in 6 days I will also get either two or four teeth removed by my dentist.

The reason why I am getting braces is because ever since I was born my teeth weren't perfect. I have a small mouth and jaw. My mouth is really crowded and my teeth are kind of going in weird directions. I have an overbite, my top teeth don't touch my bottom teeth at all. My molars aren't aligned correctly. I was also told by my orthodontist that I grind my teeth at night. Also kids made fun of me every since I started going to school since kindergarten.

The cost of braces for me will cost about $5800 dollars. The cost of the molds were $400 dollars and my parents had to pay for that themselves. For the cost of the entire process of the braces will be $6200 dollars. My dad's insurance will pay about $1300 dollars. So My braces will cost about $4500 dollars.

I got spacers exactly a week ago. At first they didn't hurt. On the next day, they started to hurt because my teeth were and are crowded. They hurt for about three to four days then the pain ease down. I will have them for two weeks.

Bye and thanks for reading.
