Hello lovely people! So, first of all, thank you to everyone who watched my braces video
I wasn't really expecting people to like it that much
That was a rather interesting little twist for me
But there we go
So I suppose braces are actually pretty exciting
Ertm but, so much more exciting is how much my teeth have moved
It's ridiculous
Look
Here's my teeth
And if you can see here that
This front left tooth, and the incisor on the right
Are both overlapping my right front tooth
But, as you can see in this close up that is happening right now
they are both lying side by side with my front tooth
So, the braces I have, Cfast, are called the six month smile
And my idea was to kind of do a video every month to show you how much they have moved
If anything had happened
I wasn't quite expecting them to move after the first month
But I have straight teeth
I'm so impressed with that
Also, as it has been pointed out, yes my dentist is the hottest dentist ever
That's why I married her
Now, for those of you who are thinking about getting braces,
I have some good advice for you
Number one. Keep them clean.
I know that seems a little rude, and I'm not saying that you have bad dental hygiene
I don't know actually, maybe you do
Or that you don't know how to brush your teeth,
but think about it, your teeth used to have five sides, I'm gonna say five
They're boxy, but they're in your mouth okay
Five sides and you just had to clean those five
Now they have brackets stuck on the front, which is another five sides
Plus, the wire
And how do you get...
Mn mn mmn mn.
These braces are invisible
because they are the colour of your teeth
If they are no longer the colour of your teeth, they will no longer be invisible
and for that reason, it is incredibly important that you brush your teeth as soon as you have eaten
yes
especially if you've eaten something that is incredibly colourful
For the first two weeks, this will sound like hell
it will hurt so much
Your lip resting upon your teeth will hurt like hell
The idea of brushing them is horrific
And your food is mainly just something you just mush at the top of your mouth
But it does get better,
it does get better
And after that, you need to start brushing those teeth
The braces, as i said, will discolour with very colourful food
Which means tumeric is now your worst enemy
Think about it, if it stains the takeaway container, it is very much going to stain your brace
No
no non non no nono no
There will be no curry for six months
I'm sorry, I know, it hurts
But it's something you just have to do
You can do it, I believe in you.
My top best brace cleaning trick is to get a piece of dental floss
thread it through your wire
At the front of your teeth
and then up, so you can floss inbetween
Okay
You need to do this, it is essential and it will make your teeth so much whiter
And cleaner
And again, that makes your brace invisible, that is how it stays invisible
Number two.
Vital , put wax on the backs.
Unlike the nasty metal train track type of braces,
these don't tear up the inside of your mouth all the way around
But certainly, the pointed wire at the back is horrific
And it will, ugh, there's just, the blood okay, the blood
I went one day missing the wax
By the end I was a crying bleeding mess
Your dentist will give you dental wax
But you can also buy it from any good pharmacy
Stock up
stock up
You will eat a lot of it
it's not ideal, but it's not bad for your either
But it does mean you need some extra wax
Lots of it.
Number three
Of course it hurts
It hurts, it really really hurts
I'm sorry, it's just the truth.
If you are thinking of getting braces, but the idea of pain is really putting you off
If you're perhaps someone who doesn't deal well with pain
Maybe braces aren't for you.
It doesn't matter whether your braces are invisible or not
they are going to hurt
Because your teeth will be moving
It's something kin to breaking your bone and then remodelling
Think about it lots of teeth, lots of them, that's like lots of little bones being broken and then having to
remodel and get back into place
It hurts so much
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, it doesn't actually hurt that much
I'm not kidding
it's liveavble okay
Sometimes it gives me one of the horrific headaches, which i can really feel like my teeth are being pulled out
But, generally it's okay
It's alright. To start with it hurts
I promise you it will not keep hurting
And then, eventually it just becomes so fine, and so unpainful
That your dentist will just change the wire
So it hurts again
It is so worth it
I am so happy with the results
I really really am
So for anyone thinking about whether if you're thing about getting whatever they want to get
Six month braces or invisible braces or whatever
I would definately say do it, go for it
Probably go for it when you're young
Because your teeth have a better remodelling something something something
I don't know. It's probably just better
Okay, so, there you go. That is my one month braces update
I will probably do another one at the three month mark
I think
Is my plan
Let me know down below in the comments if you have any questions that you'd like me to answer
If there's anything that you want to know
If you're looking into getting braces
Or if you want to know how I'm doing with mine
any tips any tricks, anything like that
er, like the video if you haven't already
And subscribe so you can see more
Er, more videos of brace stuff and non brace stuff
The non brace stuff just being me doing stuff
Whilst wearing a brace, so I guess that's kind of brace stuff too
Hope you enjoyed it
