[@originalmatrixescapee]

You have a great attitude about all of this. I'm contemplating this exact journey and this is very helpful.

I’m so happy for you for. Your big teeth movement! I had 2 teeth that were behind and had open coil springs to make space! When they were finally able to buy a bracket on those teeth and bring them forward, oh it felt so good! I’m on month 14 with braces as an adult and it has given me so much confidence with my smile! I’m in my last set of wire so I’m getting close ti the finish line! When you get those rubber bands, WEAR THEM!! Fixing your bite is the slowest moving thing with braces so to “speed it up” you have to wear them as instructed! My estimated length of braces was 18-20 months and it’s looking like I can get my off before 18 months! Rubber bands are not as bad as people say and make it out to be! It’s hurts for a few days as you are getting used to them but other than that, it’s not painful! It’s more annoying but you have to think about the results and push through! Your teeth are looking amazing! You got this girl!

Thank you for the advice! So happy it's going well for you and you are seeing the progress! I hope I might be able to get them off early too :)

Sheri!!!! You are sounding fine. Please don't worry about your speech impediment. It is natural for people who wear braces to go through this. All you can do is the best that you can.

@@sheriptolemymusicit was for the first week, but it’s gotten a lot better now thankfully. I hope your braces journey is going well! 😊

im getting braces this year and im pretty sure ill need to go through the same thing! im so nervous about it haha but I guess the key is to not take yourself too seriously and just know that one day you're gonna have amazing teeth and be THAT b!tch

[@sheriptolemymusic]

Exactly! haha and it's not all bad, some stages are better than others and it's so satisfying when you see the changes happen :) Goodluck with your braces!

I liked the hidden tooth

[@sheriptolemymusic]

haha thank you! but I'm hoping that it will help my singing to have my teeth aligned as it will be easier for sound to pass through uninterrupted :)

[@Jagger_33]
