Appointment: January 6, 2010

Today I had an ortho appointment! Yay. So I went in for the usual. Cute boy was there too, haha. And while I was brushing my teeth, he came over the sink and rinsed his mouth, and then he left. He's dreamy...

Anyways... Haha! I might seem like a creepy girl now, I promise I'm not!! Okay, so the assistant took my wires off, and she had trouble taking the bottom one off. It was a bit painful and I feared my bands would come loose :[ But they didn't. Then I was sent to brush and floss, and then I waited for the orthodontist to come with me (which took a while).

She checked my bite with a little mirror-tool-thingy, and told me to: "Open big, bite. Open, bite". She did this a few times, and I could feel she was unsure. Then she asked: "Have you been wearing your rubber bands?". To which I answered: "Yes... but not all the time..." "I knew it!! I knew it!!", she said. Then she told me that I had to wear them because she had to see if they were coming off. Then she told me to wear them all the time. I asked if I should keep using the right one during the day, and both at night; but she said I had to wear both full time. Then I was done and was left with the assistant.

Being good, with my rubber bands on ;]

The assistant asked me which color chain I wanted. DUN DUN DUN DUUUUN!! And I asked: "What colors do you have?". And she opened the drawer and I saw turquoise. YAY!, so I told her I wanted that one. But she said she could use it because the chains were too separated... I felt disappointed yet again, but continued looking through the colors. I said: "How about that neon pink?", but she told me she couldn't use it for the same reason as the turquoise. I glanced at the greens and oranges and yellows, but I quickly thought that it would look like I had salad on my teeth, or that my teeth were yellower than they are. So I ended up choosing a metalic blue, which I actually like alot :]

The chain does look like it's turquoise in the pictures, but it's a darker blue.

So then I was told to wait by the door, in the little mirrored hallway. The assistant came a few minutes later and told me that I would have my next appointment in 5 to 7 weeks, and that in my next appointment they would evaluate if I was going to get my braces off. I got excited, but she tried to cut it by repeating: "Only to evaluate, not to take them off". But still, I was excited!! I might be getting them off 6 months earlier!! Can't wait till I have a retainer, haha :]

Next Appointment: February 23, 2010

PS> I'm sorry every post is like a freakin' novel. You don't have to read it all, it's just that I like remembering every little detail :]
