You're not alone

You already knew that but it's still reassuring to know that there are other adults who've decided to accessorise themselves with wires on their teeth.

What a crazy concept!

I've just got my first set of this jewellery called braces and would be keen to hear how you're coping and what tricks do you recommend to make the time go faster.

So, welcome to my braces journey...

First breakage

I don't even know when it happened. All I saw when i woke up was that one little braces bit fell off. Did I swallow it? Did it fall out? No idea. I'm still not eating food that is hard to bite so it must have been the force of liquid that did it. The only real pain with the breakage was to make an appointment and get myself to the orthodontist again. I'm not really into driving across town and juggling these appointments during my lunch break. I prefer to get into my soup instead. Well, the whole thing was fixed in no time. A bit of glue a bit of wire re-arranging and ... done.
