i guess i'll start off with a little intro, eh?
i'm female. i'm nineteen [and a half, i guess.]
i'm a college student.
i enjoy long walks on the beach....
okay, enough with that.
on to mi situación..
i've always had bad teeth. when i was younger i sucked my thumb, and wee, got bucked teeth for that. and the bad genetics didn't help me either. so... then i knocked my two front teeth out on monkey bars when i was eight or so, and the new ones came in all crooked. hooray.
on top of the overbite, i also have major crowding in the lowers. and when i was younger, my 'fang' teeth.. what do you call those? i have no clue o_o... anyway those were way high in my gums.
so when i was twelve i got braced. by this really crappy orthondist. i had them til i was fourteen... I think? no, maybe i was fifteen. either way, i was supposed to have them for longer but the prick took them off early. he even ADMITTED he took them off early, dude, whatev.
they looked good when he took them off, they looked really good. straight... but i still had a slight overbite. because he took them off early.
then the retainer... god, that was a huge deal. it didn't even fit me!
well now i'm nineteen and my teeth have shifted back. they're not too terrible. but they're bad.
in a week and a few days, Oct 26, i'm getting braced for a 2nd time. i'm getting iBraces (behind the teeth) on my upper arch and normal braces on my lower arch. estimated time = 18 months.
he's also goin to do some enamel stripping of my two front teeth which is basically shaving off part of my tooth. he doesn't like how wide my two front teeth are, and quite frankly, neither do i.
anyway, i know it's over a week away but i thought i'd post my before pics.. try not to cringe too much! D:
there you have it, the creatures known as my teeth.
i can't wait to post pics after the braces are on
feedback is appreciated :]
