1 month brace-iversary

Yesterday on 24th July was my 1 month brace-iversary, 1 down, probably at least 11 more to go!I had one of those moments today where I was reassured that I'm definitely doing the right thing. It's weird cos whenever I look in the mirror to try and convince myself that I'm doing the right thing, I end up thinking 'oh maybe it's not even that bad, am I being completely ridiculous?!', but then when I just happen to see myself from the side I think 'Oh my God, how have I lived with this stupid face for so long? How do people not look at me and think what a weird face that girl's got?!!' I do know that nobody else notices or cares, but to me sometimes I just think it looks so abnormal that I can't believe people don't notice. I was positioning mirrors so that I could see my TEETH from a different angle, and I caught a horrible view of the profile, but as much as I hate it, it makes me happy too coZ I know that I'm definitely doing the right thing by going through with this.

During this 1 month I experienced difficulty speaking or pronouncing words after getting their braces put on and just recently (past 3-5 days) have noticed that I have difficult pronouncing some words during speech. perhaps the treatment of moving my teeth are affecting everything?"?????? I'm still hopeless with 'f' and 'v' sounds, my lips don't touch my teeth so I end up with a slight whistle through the brackets whilst spitting at people occasionally.

Well the good beginning still goes to when i am smile and look up my upper teeth, hahaha, because i lost my baby teeth and i feel awkward when i smile this my upper teeth shown . However trust me those braces can do some magic in little time too. I think if I didn't do it now I'd end up doing it later in life, so I might as well get it out of the way while I'm young!

Anyway, here are the picture of my 1 month braced teeth. They probably don't look much different and it's probably not very exciting seeing the same pics of my teeth over and over again, but I want this blog to be a record for myself too so I can look back at my progress.
