Brackets Changed

Today I changed out my bottom brackets. They have these doors that open to fit the wire through and the ones I had were faulty. The doors would stick and they would have to really struggle to change my wires each month. My Orthodontist said that she'd tried that brand for the first time and they were sticking on everyone. They mentioned at first that the adults were having more trouble than the teens because they drank less soda. The soda erodes the doors enough that they are more easy to open. I don't drink any soda, so they were the same bad fit each time. I bought a toothpaste with baking soda to try to help but it didn't work. Taking the brackets off are really uncomfortable if you've got braces for the first time (This is my second time to have braces). It's sore on the tooth but for me the most awful thing is the cold air and cold water on my teeth and against my gum line. I hate it. My Orthodontist said that next visit we will do surgical impressions and she will meet with my surgeon about them. If he says they look good then I can book a surgery in March. Exciting! And scary. I asked the receptionist if she'd send photos they took of my teeth, for this blog and she said she'd do it tomorrow. In the meantime here are some of my own.
