I Cant wait to have that comparison between ho...

So I have had my braces put on! I was nervous before the appointment, even though I ahve read from so many people what its like. Finally getting the braces on just scared me a bit. The whole thing took about an hour, taking photos, making moulds of my teeth and then putting the actualy braces on! Pu...

So Yesterday I had my first ever tooth taken out. I had a back right side molar taken out to make space for a wisdom tooth to drop down.

So I have wanted 'perfect' teeth for a long long time now. The main thing I hate is that my upper and lower jaw are such different sizes that it means i have a lot of gum on show when I smile. Many of my friends say its not an issue... but it sure is to me, my lower teeth are also very crowded, and ...
