Ahhhh the braces. It's been 11 weeks since I got them put on and as much as everyone said I would get used to them I'd say I am but I'm not. I've heard I would forget they are there but that just hasn't happened. I'm just aware of them....ALWAYS. I don't love them and already cannot wait for the day they come off. LOL! I'm nothing if not honest people!
But!!! I'm already seeing promising results which is showing me I've made the right decision. The picture on the left is the day I got them on and the one on the right is me now.
I was told at my first adjustment that things are moving along nicely and we're making good progress. I think what's shocked me the most is how I look so different already. I can already see my teeth straightening out. My face structure is already getting much stronger and more angular which is great. My jaw pain from TMJ has already gotten better too which is amazing!! It's not gone but better which is a great reminder this is working! I cannot wait to see after a year how much better it'll get if already after only 11 weeks I have these results!!
So as much as I hate wearing the braces I can already see it's going to be worth it. I just want to fast forward through the next year and be done. HA!
I'll try to do these updates every now and again because when I blogged about getting the braces on I had a lot of people reach out to me saying they were considering doing the same. I think reading someone elses first hand experience can help...it helps me anyways so why not?! It's not everyday a 34 year old mom needs to get braces BUT I know I'm not alone! So I'll definitely be keeping you all in the loop!
