(Blue) Brace Face!
[edit] I woke up this morning to find my drool splattered and oozed onto my blanket, pillow, bed and penguin. Drats, my penguin!!11one
I guess the mouth will always have little leaks in between when the braces are on.
This is so gross. Drool stains are already starting to set in. Oh, plus, they hurt like fuck. [/edit]
Due to the inability to close my mouth properly otherwise my lips will cause friction with the metal and create big ulcers, I talk as if I’ve had Botox injected into my face. The lower lip just goes up down up down while the rest of my face remains expressionless. So you may hear me laughing, but my face will look bored.
And when I smile, sunlight reflects off the metal and blind people.
People will have to talk to me in the dark now. Mwaha, okay, exagerrating.
I was unaware that it was the tiny rubber bands tied around the metal thingys that determine what colour your braces would be, I thought “elastic” referred to, I dunno, something to hold the teeth while the dentist does her stuff.
So when the nurse asked what colour I wanted, I shrugged my shoulders and told her to pick.
She chose blue.
So not only am I brace face, I’m blue brace face!
I’ll go get it changed after a couple of weeks, until then, get ready to be blinded by my blue-ness.
And when I’m sad and people ask how I’m feeling, I’ll just point to my braces and say, “Just check them out man, they reflect ME.” Hahahahaha okay that’s not funny…
Well, not only do they hurt, I look wonky too. My lips can’t contain them very well, so I’m just going around with my gap open, showcasing to the world my tonsils and unsightly food stuck in between the braces.
Plus, I got 3 different toothbrushes. One to brush underneath the wires, another to brush over the brackets, and the last one to brush the gaps between my teeth. I can tell that I’m going to spend more time brushing my teeth than sleeping or peeing.
Looking ugly for 18 months to look good for the rest of my life?
Wellll… That drives a hard bargain, but okay.
Apparently my mom thinks I can’t get married if I have ugly teeth. ‘
Hey, if the only thing which keeps my fiance from marrying me is my ugly teeth, I’m pretty sure that’s a huge sign telling me that I shouldn’t marry him, right? If he loves me, it shouldn’t be for my teeth damnit.
Denise told me that braces are the “in” thing now, so I’ll just blend right in.
Braces? The “in” thing? I’d rather wear those stupid Crocs then, they may look gross, but at least they don’t hurt. Or so I think.
It’s supposed to look sad because the braces are blue, but aw.
