It is declared... Two weeks! (15 days)

So two weeks have passed sinced my mouth has been invaded with braces. Quick run down:

- front bottom and front top teeth are still sensitive and not able to bite anything AT ALL.
even of like noodles are clamped between these two, it feels like my wire is gonna snap off.

- just two days ago I had 2 of the biggest sore on the inside of my lip, this is near the front left side of my bottom mouth. I haven't used any wax until today mainly because I wanted my mouth to toughen up and get used to it. But the wax makes it a bit better. I also have one other major sore but that one hasn't been a problem, and the brackets and wires have made dents in my mouth.

- people notice them. A LOT. because you know you can just see the braces. even people who have never met me notice them, take for example 5 and 6 year olds.

- heaps difficult to smile or laugh at all because of my teeth + braces.

- it's been pretty uncomfortable to smile in photos (YES! even with just lips and no braces!) it just feels heaps awkward with all that metal filled in your mouth.

- my orthodontist has been heaps nice to me since I've gotten them on; they've been sending me emails with do and don'ts, they've given me some care notes in an information package, they even called a couple of days ago asking me how I was doing with braces. I'm extremely happy that I've chosen this specific orthodontist because the staff and hospitality is incredible!

- I have told them that I do not floss. yes I haven't flossed one day for the whole 2 weeks of my braces regime. which is bad I know I know. But I can't seem to wrap my head around it and I don't have the tools. They told me to go out and buy a flossing product with a stiffer thread at the end for flossing however I just don't have time for that.

- I'm running out of the Colgate travel toothpaste they gave me.

- been brushing my teeth after ever meal (usually 3 times a day because I have school for 6 hours) and mouthwashing morning and night.

- today a piece of tuna for stuck in my teeth and today was the first time I had to go to the bathroom to brush it out with my tiny spikster (small little tooth brush made for braces)

- I have a wedding in one month and I am incredibly fat and my teeth won't shift until my first tightening appointment on October 15th. 10 days after the wedding....

I doubt my teeth will shift at all, however I really hope the canines could sink but...

Anyways that's it for the 2 week update! See ya in next update ~
