So, my teeth have moved quite a bit for only having them on for ten days. I don’t know if anyone else has these things but I have bumpers on a lot of my brackets. It’s nice because I clench my teeth and get anxiety attacks more often now that I have braces ( I wonder why?). Anyways, I call my ortho since my front teeth are hitting now and I am afraid to crack my front tooth

and he gives me an appointment in less than half an hour! In getting ready to go see him, of course I want to make sure my teeth are clean

I don’t know about you but this brushing your teeth after every meal/snack/sweet is just insane!

I have to eat every hour due to my low sugar and simply because I enjoy eating and since now I can’t eat as much, I have to make up by eating lots of junk

But seriously, if I brushed my teeth every single time I put something in my mouth I would have to quit my job!
So any who, I go into the bathroom facilities of my work place (It’s a dream having to brush and dig at your teeth in a public bathroom!), with my bag of goodies my ortho gave me and I spot these little purple tablets. “Interesting”, I think to myself. I read, “Disclosing Tablets” and think “Cool, that will make brushing the important parts easier to do. So I pop a tablet in my mouth on my way up the elevator before even thinking if that is what you are supposed to do with these things! I am quite surprised to find it tastes yummy and I sigh from relief that it’s not disgusting and satisfied to find that I wasn’t probably supposed to dilute it in water or something, but since it tastes good, I figure I must have done it right

But then I walk into the poorly lit bathroom and see that my bottom lip looks like A dead corpse!

I freak out and smile only to see my teeth look like a boxer wearing a black mouth guard!!!! Oh my freaken retarded A$$!! What have I DONE???!!! I quickly rinse out my mouth, drop my bag of teeth brushing artillery and load my toothbrush with toothpaste and start brushing away!! Then I realize CRAP I have ceramic braces with clear ligs!!!! THIS ISN’T GOING TO COME OFF!!! Panic sets in and I am thinking “WHY THE HELL would he put these damn tablets in my baggy?!!” After spitting and brushing and spitting and brushing and brushing some more, I see the dye in my spit and feel a sense of relief thinking “Its going away”

BUT NO! Most of it went away but it’s in the cracks and I didn’t bring my threader so there is no way I can get the floss to fit in my teeth that feel like they have been welded together!
All in all most of it went away but that was not a fun experience! If I am afraid to eat spaghetti because I am afraid it will stain my ligs, why would I put a dye pill in my mouth?! What an idiot! Sometimes I just forget but that was by far the dumbest thing I have done…..so far….only ten days in so I wonder what else I have coming my way
