Week 29
Back to the orthodontist I have been.
For some reason I had told myself that my orthodontic appointment this time around was going to be a breeze.
How wrong I was.
It was awful. Perhaps my worse one to date.
He wanted to change both my upper and lower wires for stronger ones.
He also decided to add 2 new brackets to the back of my upper teeth. That move I was not counting on. I thought my time in new brackets was over :(
Also, when he was changing the wire on my lower teeth and the last bracket fell off! I know this because my orthodontist and his nurse both went "oh" at the same time while poking around in my mouth.
So I now wonder how long that badger has been loose/not attached and if so has it slowed my treatment and progress. ANNOYING.
Also, he mentioned my red patches that I get on the roof of my mouth and said they are looking really aggressive at the moment. Nice.
And he said my gums are a bit swollen (sometime I had noticed in the past month or so) and that I need to really brush them. I AM. REALLY WELL. It wont go down!!
Anywho, 2 new wires, chains over ALL bracketed teeth (upper and lower), 2 new brackets, one replacement bracket later and I'm done. Oh, and in pain. Lots of pain.
I had actually forgotten how much it aches when he has been invading my mouth! Ouchie.

| Angry patches |
My teeth are feeling sore. Certain ones more so than others. There is a particular one that hurts when I use my mouthwash in the evening.
Oh and my new brackets at the back have given me ulcers already! Wax me up. Onwards and upwards.
In 5 weeks time I will be looking back at this and thinking what was I moaning about!
On the plus side, my
Such attractive photos!
