Brace Face!

Today is a fascinating day for my sister and me because we received braces from an orthodontist located in Old Town Scottsdale. As soon as we started the process, the orthodontists applied tangy cement onto our teeth, which was not a very pleasant taste for my mouth. I was not enjoying this powder cement as much as I wish I did. As soon as I had the disgusting cement taste out of my mouth, they applied rings to my upper molars.  Although this should have hurt, it did not because the orthodontist was very gentle when she poked inside my mouth. After my mouth had rings in the upper back, she started attaching braces to my six very front teeth. My initial thought was this would be the most painful step in the procedure, but it turned out to be the easiest step to install braces. After everything, except the wires, was applied the head orthodontist checked my braces to make sure they were attached in the correct spacing. After I got permission from him, he let the orthodontist know that I was ready to attach wires for the braces. It took a couple tries to have the wire the correct length. After this part of the braces was completed, I was able to pick out two colors to make my braces festive. I chose pink and green, which to me are very compatible colors. Since I received my braces on today, I am still becoming accustomed to my green and pink braces.
