Note to reader: The following post is ONLY about me venting/talking about my own personal experience with this situation. Any and all harsh or teasing comments will be deleted. I have been teased about this situation enough already.

PS. The back story to this post is in the “Dentist part #20” post in the “Me” tab of my blog if you’re curious about it.

Dear reader I just got back from my latest dentist appointment here’s what happened:

I had another full set of dental x-rays done then I had my braces put on my bottom teeth(I don’t need them on my top teeth) I had two different shades of purple for the bands this time.

Putting them on didn’t hurt and so far I don’t feel any pain, I can just feel that they are there. I ate with them with no problems as well.

I go back next month on 2/23/16 to get new bands. I am going to have them on for anywhere from 4-9 months.

I had them put on for two main reasons:

1. To hopefully push 2 of my bottom teeth down so that I can have room for the implants on the top side of my mouth for the 2 teeth I am missing.

2. To hopefully open my bite so that I can hopefully chew without pain.

After I get them off I will have my bottom veneers made/placed. After that I will be getting 2 dental implants put in place for two teeth I am missing on the top side of my mouth.

Thanks again dear reader for staying on this journey with me and giving me the courage to keep facing my fears. I promise to keep you updated on everything as soon as I know more.
