How old are you? (If you care to share)
25
How many times a year did you visit the dentist before braces?
I didn't go until I was 17. I went nine times that year. Then I went again when I was 19 and had lost the crown (or whatever it's called) off my front tooth (The dentist was like, "You should have gone to the orthodontist years ago." I told my mom, and she was like, "Yeah, we already knew that," and that was the end of that.). And then I went after I finally had insurance of my own when I was 23. And now I'll start going like a normal human being.
How many times a year do you visit the dentist now?
I'll be going every six months.
How much did you floss before braces? Now?
Never before. Well, no, I started to do it every night a few months ago, but only between the teeth that I could actually get between. Now I do it every night between all teeth, except for two that I just CAN NOT get between.
Do you think your habits will change again when you get your braces off?
I won't be brushing seven hundred times a day, but I'll keep brushing and flossing.
