Hello,
Is it weird to say I'm excited about my first comment? It'll be nice to know someone is actually reading my ramblings.
Anyway, so I got my braces off yesterday! Obviously, I'm going to have more put on by my orthodontist at the hospital but the local orthodontist took theirs off so my teeth can reach their equilibrium.
I mean, after you've gone through a whole jaw surgery I don't think anyone would be worried about braces removal but I was very worried about getting them off so I thought I'd make this post.
As I spoke to my friends about it, they kept telling me I had nothing to be worried about as it didn't hurt at all. I didn't want to say it, but this is not why I was worried. You see, I have struggled with some pretty bad mental health problems that left me debilitated at times, and my teeth brushing suffered as a result of this. It is bad enough not to keep good oral hygiene without braces, but with braces, it's probably the worst thing you could do. However, this wasn't something I thought about when I was stuck in the depths of my mind. Anyway, as a result, I was terrified that I would have horrible stains all over my teeth.
Luckily, this wasn't the case! If staining is something you're really concerned about please don't worry. I had them for a really long time and, in all honesty, was shit at brushing them. I will insert a photo of them below, but apart from a bit of yellowing which is easily fixed and a couple unnoticeable white spots, they're really nice!
Everyone was saying that, while it doesn't hurt, you do feel a pressure. To be honest, I hardly felt it. Sometimes I would hear them click off without feeling anything. The tool they use to get the glue off is a little unpleasant and I find rattled my brain slightly but it doesn't last very long so it doesn't bother you too much. The worst bit for me was getting impressions of my teeth taken because the goo makes me gag EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Anyway, later today, I'm going to get a nice clean and polish from my dentist so I will take the photo afterward because I will feel a lot better about it. When I do, I'll insert it.
I hope you have a lovely day

Hello! It's a Jaw Surgery blog! From the point of view of a 16-year-old girl! Even I cannot believe how rare this is! But in all seriousness, anyone who is even remotely like me will be reading every blog about their upcoming surgery that they can, so I thought I may as well contribute to that with some honest experiences covered in a lovely helping of sarcasm. I hope you enjoy this journey towards making the lower half of my face much more aesthetically pleasing! E x
