The Pendulum is in...
gosh... I guess my teeth really are crooked... look at that!
I now have this lovely device fixed to the roof of my mouth. My speech is funny, it's hard to drink a smoothie from a straw, and I feel like I'm slowly turning into a robot.
I'll have this for the next 8 weeks and then I get full braces (as long as my molars obey and move they way they should).
But there are some positives:
1 - I won't have braces when I'm in Zoe's wedding
2 - No more stupid spacers
3 - I've quit biting my nails
4- I don't have any sort of dental appointments for 8 weeks! I've been at least once a week since the beginning of March... this is amazing :-)
