HAHA, wow there's been a whole conversation going on here. It makes me feel loads better that I am not the only tooth starer.
Look at you
Tim, you got some shiny new power chains. Your teeth are going to be on the move now. I also look in the mirror after adjustments. The first thing I do when I get in my car is pull the visor down and flip the mirror up. Sometimes I forgo that and immediately stare in the rear view mirror. Depending on how anxious/excited I am
Denise, I definately know what you mean about pre vs post braces behavior. I am way more obsessed with all things oral hygeine as well. I used to brush 2-3 times daily and tried to floss daily as well, but I really didn't think much about it. But now I brush at least 3 times a day, usually more, I have $100 toothbrush, I have a fond attachment to said toothbrush, and I spend a good deal of time in the oral hygeine section of the grocery store/Wal Mart/Target. Odd what a little metal can do to you.
Glad to meet another person with a wayward molar
Cor1. Mine is on the left so it's like we have twins, lol. If your's is the second premolar than it is the same tooth. As I am sure you know, it is quite an annoying place to have a tooth. I will definately keep my story posted on here as it starts developing, but I am not sure when it will start to be moved in since other things needed to be sorted out in my mouth before hand. Plus, space will need to be made for it as well which could be a long process. All depends on how fast my teeth want to move. Hope your wayward molar finds its way home soon
Meryaten, you are right. I really should be careful. I am known for watching a pot of water
It really is true... it NEVER boils! So it never is going to move is it?
Turrrtlelove, I do hope you wont have to deal with the grumpy assistant next time but chances are you will probably bump into her again one time or another. I have dealt with about 4 assistants now, and all of them have been wonderful. They do like to joke, which is nice. I think it must be a relief for them to have an adult every once in a while... someone more their age
You just gave me an idea for lig colors though. I couldn't decide if I wanted to do purple and pink or purple and red at my next adjustment, but now I am thinking of doing all three. I hope they wont want to smack me with making them do 3 colors, lol. Maybe I'll just stick with pink and purple. However, I don't think I can get Tim to join me in that color choice. You know, real men wear pink Tim
My current dilemna... I really have been craving In-N-Out and I know it will be a few days until I will be able to satisfy my double double (animal style
) craving. By the end of my chicken sandwhich that I had for lunch today, I was in agony so I will definately have to be nicer to my teeth the next few days. For those of you who don't live in California, Nevada, or Arizona I am sorry that you do not have that wonderful knowledge of what In-N-Out tastes like, but if you are ever in any of these 3 states, see an In-N-Out, and can appreciate a good burger, do go in and get one. You will love me forever for telling you about it. And this, among a few other reasons, is why I would have a very hard time not living in California.
LOL. But no - not me - not at my age! I think I'll stick to just what I have THANK YOU!
