I noticed, too, that my face looked different after time spent wearing braces. I noticed my cheekbones more which I find is lovely. It definitely changes the impression of your facial features, but generally in a more positive light I think.

Same, I've lost a fair bit of weight since being braced too. Since I was overweight though, I don't mind in the slightest! People tell me it's really noticeable in the face area, and my cheekbones are much more noticeable which is nice. I don't know how much weight I've lost since being braced since I only bought a set of scales last week, but I've gone from a size 16 to a size 10!

Having to brush my teeth after eating/drinking means no more snacking, drinking only water (ok, and coffee ) along with eating being far more time-consuming and cumbersome. I eat a lot better too which is nice.

I also ride 90km's a weeks to work so I guess that helps...

JumpTheDitch, that is pretty much what I think life will be like after B-Day.

I am always snacking on things but I'm fairly sure that will change in a few weeks! I want to keep my teeth and braces clean and healthy, so that means brushing after every meal - and I don't think I will decide to have a quick snack that I don't really need if it means having to go out and clean thoroughly!

Well done on going from a 16 to a 10! That is fantastic!

Thanks juf_84, I'm pretty happy with it!
I always knew I shouldn't snack like I did but could never really find the movitation to stop! I certainly found it now .

Good luck with your b-day
