Hey Y'all!

I just though I'd start this now as my diary of progress!!

So sometime last year before december I got this

Im not really sure what it is but I know I had to put a key next to the yellow arrow Once a week and turn it

Lol I havent a clue...

So I still have that in.. its actually making flaps of skin on the top of my mouth, where the space is from where it expands. Hmm... lol! They are going now since ive been brushing all of the time.

Then on the 23rd June I got my Brackets glued on heres a picture

These really hurt and cut up the front of my lip becuase there was no wire or ligs in the hook bits (excuse my bad english!)

I didnt like this at all, I was ebing a bit of a wimp!! I had spacers in aswell for my molar bands, I actually didnt find them too bad... felt weird for a few days then I actually quite liked the little blue ' things ' in my teeth!

So then on the 30th of June I got my molar bands and wire on, I was giggling all through it

The assistant actually started laughing and my ortho said it was better than me wiggling again and so on!

Id had 4 extractiions a while ago (yes I cried and I screamed) And I have some wire going over the gaps and then I have ome thinner wire thats twisted all swirly going from molar band to molar band. Sorry if none of that made sence. So heres a recent picture.

I will update in a month to see if there is any change! and if anyone knows what hes mooving tell me as I dont know! And whats my removable brace called? I keep calling it my plastic lol!

Thanks for reading!! Ill update soon

Well im getting my top braces on the 1st september and Im thinking that I wont have to wear it then... If I do im gonna cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only difference Ive seen is a gap on the side of my teeth got bigger.. but That could be becuase ive had 4 extractions.. I DONT KNOW

Just a little update, No pictures yet... Im gonna take them once a month so you can actually see the difference..

This morning, My brackets were rubbing my lips a little.. I noticed my two front bottom teeth are now inline with eachother!!!!! Before they were like a few mm's apart like this much '' Now they are like straight!!

And my gaps from where I had my extractions are closing.. Yippiee..

I can feel the movement with my toungue so It definatly happening!!

I think ive discovered whats going on with the big pink plastic thing at the top of my mouth.... My 4th tooth along from the middle one lol (Do you get me?)
has moved alot.. it seems to have mooved back a bit, and it has also created alot of spacebetween each tooth.

Its really bugging me with the ridges its made inbetween the gaps of it... Im actually going to take a picture just to show you the flaps and so on....

I was told I got them becuase when I got the removable thing... I didnt brush my teeth after every meal..

They have gone down so far..

My teeth are not actually THAT yellow

Well I will add more soon, thanks for readin people!!

I amr eally good with my oral hygene now, before though i was only brushing twice a day.
Now I brush after EVERYTHING I eat.

Even if its just a cookie...
