new beagle tattoo!!!
Posted in stuff on July 23rd, 2008

this is week 3, day 14. i finally got the wire that was digging a hole in my cheek fixed yesterday. instant relief! my braces are now totally bearable and just kind of annoying. i got a tooth pulled last wednesday, and it healed really quickly. you can’t even notice there is a tooth missing.
the yellowish hue on my teeth is apparently staining from the glue that was applied to my teeth to set the brackets. NICE!!
now i guess i just wait. oh. and i should probably stop checking my teeth every 10 minutes to see if they have moved yet.
last week was pretty eventful - a new motorcycle and a mouth full of metal all in the same week. thank gawd the hawt bike totally cancels out the lame metal mouth.
life with braces thus far can be described in one word. annoying. as shit. eating is just a ridiculous exercise in frustration followed by a ritual of cleaning, flossing, brushing, rinsing, gargling, and then cleaning again. and the holes in my cheeks from the wires and brackets…ouch. i’ve been putting wax on the offending wires, but i’m almost out. and a trip to the drug store last night revealed that wax, tooth brushes for braces etc. are not so readily available.
this week i have to arrange for a tooth to get pulled so my upper teeth have room to move. that should be totally fun.
