Just had my lunch, wondered why I still felt hungry, looked in the mirror, and realised that half my lunch was in my braces. Lovely! I'd forgotten all about these things! I definitely won't be eating in public for a while!
Unfortunately, it doesn't get all that much easier. I am STILL constantly trying to get food out of my braces, I am so used to it that I don't think about it TOO much, but I am sure I am completely grossing out all of the people around me! :-P
Haha I've had my braces a year now and I'm just like Dani. If I don't have time to run and get the crap out after eating, I just have to not smile for a couple of hours haha. I forget sometimes and I'm sure some people are grossed out. Oh well.
I'm sure I'll stop caring as much soon and be happy talking to people with a brace full of food! At least it's making me keep my teeth clean though cos I'm constantly brushing them or picking bits out of them!
Hi I'm Sarah, I'm 23 and I'm planning to undergo lower and upper jaw surgery to correct my overbite and gummy smile. I was offered but declined this surgery when I was a teenager, but have now decided to go ahead with the procedure. When making this decision I found it really helpful to read other blogs, and hope that documenting my surgery will help others!

ReplyDeleteHaha oh dear, I've still got 2 years of it to go! I can't believe how much food gets stuck in there!
