Well it’s been nearly 2 weeks now so what wisdom do I have to impart?
- Applying lipstick requires a change in technique as the terrain is a bit more bumpy from the brackets under the lip.
- Washing your face also requires a more gentle technique around the mouth and cheek area.
- At this point in time the letter ‘F’ as it crops up in some words sounds a little strange, a bit like just blowing air, a guess the lip has to stretch a bit more to make the right sound. I noticed this when I was singing to the radio!
- Biting into anything that puts pressure on the wires or brackets is not such a good idea still.
- Socializing requires wax as I laugh and smile those brackets at the back rub more.
- You have to be soooooo careful that you don’t develop one of those annoying habits of sucking on your braces to make sure you have no food waste in them…people don’t like that sound…apparently…
Melted cheese is not a friend to the braces, that’s all I will say on that!
So far so good!
