Hey hey! U girls rule!
So yeah I got the lowers this morning, and the assistant was there, she didn't do my braces, some other assistant helped out. But my ortho. was there and I like her, so it was okay. I can't beleive I was late for my appointment, 10 minutes!
I was a bit disappointed, because even though my ortho. is so kind and nice, she didn't really explained me anything at all, I guess she sees a lot of people and didn't really have time.
My braces are metal, quite small, and I've chosen pink elastics to go with them! I'm getting the uppers in less than 2 weeks time - oh yeah - I was shocked, 'cause when I was leaving I asked her "Oh, and when are the uppers coming in?" she said "whenever u want, if you want we can put them on this month"... and that was it, I sheduled the appointment and my first hygienist consultation (I guess this is probably why she didn't explain me much, the hygienist will). And I also asked her about my remaining left wisdom teeth and she said that I could put the braces on first and then we'd see about the wisdom tooth. I really don't know how she's going to make space there, 'cause the wisdom is stuck to the second molar. On the right side I do have 2 milimeters or something. Anyways, she probably knows what she's doing... I'll try to "get something out of her" on the next appointment... She was in a bad day!
Here are so pics, I appologyse for the sesame** quality... It took me over 20 minutes to take these things... But u can definatly see that they are super crooked - I'll post every month or every two months:
Can't wait for these babies to get straight!!!
Thanks girl for so much support! U rule!

Oh I forgot to say: Nearly no pain at all so far and also I don't notice my lip being bigger weird looking - which is a releive. It does look a bit different, but quite acceptable. I was expecting a lot worse!
