Braces@56

Welcome to my blog. I'm having braces fitted at the age of nearly 56, and I thought you might find my experiences useful, if you are thinking of doing it too.

Thicker wire on top Incognito brace



At my appointment yesterday, my orthodontist fixed a thicker wire onto the top Incognito brace and firmly(!) attached my right canine tooth to it. It has been a bit painful today, but I've had some paracetamol and it's helped. I can't take ibuprofen because I have gastritis, and I don't want to upset my tummy. He said that I'm now over the worst and the new thicker wires each time will pull my teeth into shape.
Eating wise, until yesterday,I have been doing very well, but still being careful of foods like crisps and hard crusts. I'm pleased that my teeth look so straight already, and really glad that I've got braces.
You know when you look in the mirror and think my hair's not so good today, I'll wash it, have it trimmed or coloured? Well, you can't do that with your teeth, they look the same every day unless you decide to have braces or have them whitened. So now it's great to look in the mirror and see that they are straight. Fantastic!
