Got braced today!

#1 Post by Metal Mickey »

Finally after 2 cancelled appointments it was 3rd time lucky and I got not only my upper braces fitted today as well as having a lower incisor extracted, I also got my lower brackets fitted. (wasn't expected to get lowers done for another month).

So glad to finally be on my journey, although I might not be saying the same thing in the morning!

Today yoghurt and mashed potato have become my new best friends!!

Me too! Just the uppers will get the lowers bonded after I get two of my teeth extracted. I also have a transplantal arch (TPA). It's hard to eat with the TPA food gets stuck in it. Other tgan that, it's so much better than spacers!
