When I Got My Braces On
Some time in September this year I went to the orthodontist to see if i needed braces. When I went there they took lots of pictures of my teeth and of me. They then went and looked at the pictures and came to the conclusion that I needed braces. So my parents and I made an appointment to get molds made of my teeth and get the braces on. A couple of weeks later I went in to get molds made of my teeth. When they put the stuff in my mouth to make the molds it tasted horrible and made me gag! They then told me that i needed a bite plate too so i don't bite done on my bottom braces. So they had to make another mold on the top.
On October 30th, 2017 I went back to the orthodontist to get my braces put on! I was super nervous but excited at the same time. First they talked to my parents and I and we had to sign some papers. They talked to me about my braces and told me what I can't eat and stuff. After that they took me onto the room were they put the braces on. They put the braces on, I'm not sure what the process was all I know is that it took about a little over 1 hour. They then put my bite plate in and showed me how to take it off and put it back on. They said that i need to wear it 24-7 except for when brushing my teeth. Next they showed me how to brush and how to floss my teeth.
After I got my braces they gave me a T-shirt that I can wear each time I come in to get Lacy Bucks that I can then use to buy prizes like gift cards and movie tickets and other prizes. They also gave me a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, floss threaders, a go between brush, and a Lacy Buck. We (my dad and I) set a date for my next appointment to get my braces tightened and other stuff for December 11th 2017. Then we left the orthodontist and my dad took me to Caribou Coffee and i got the blended caramel high rise. Next i had to go to school. That day for lunch i brought my own lunch of yogurt, applesauce, pudding and water.
I got turquoise colored bands on my braces close to these.
