Gotta love braces dreams. I don't even have mine on yet and had a dream about not being able to get essix retainer off. :-P

After 2 days of braces, I just had my first dream about them...

Unfortunately, this involved "waking up" (still IN my dream) and going to the bathroom to check my braces, only to discover that they've cracked my top front tooth in half somehow and 3 brackets are popped. Needless to say, this absolutely sucked. But then I woke up and went right to the bathroom to check - and of course everything is fine!

I've had this dream several times where my smile was coming along nicely, then the ortho had to go out of town for a few weeks and had to postpone my appointment for several more weeks. My teeth started shifting and spaces (recently closed) opened up and my teeth looked really wonky!. I was really stressed out because I couldn't reach him and so much progress was lost. I never get to finish the dream to see if there is a happy ending, all I remember is that I am super stressed out because my teeth are getting screwed up and I can't speak with him. Talk about losing control!

ive had a dream or two where some brackets have popped off/cracked in the dream.. scary!
