Hello ^.^
Well, I've made it through a week with these horrible braces!! To be quite honest - at first I didn't think it was bad at all! The pain was tolerable - the braces slightly uncomfortable: the cutting up of my tongue was the worst bit! But overall, quite all right! (It could be worse for others though - my pain tolerance is pretty ship shape!) - was looking forward to a deliciously cooked meal after not eating for a few days!
BOY WAS I WRONG.
It's been an entire week since I've eaten anything solid - I want to kill myself* (myself being my stomach which is so grumbly all the time!). I'm pretty sure it's all my head now - there's no pain with chewing foods, but I just can not bring myself to do it! The moment food goes into my mouth, I start gagging. I assume it's because having the braces on the inside of my teeth crowds my tongue/throat out - so it freaks out thinking that I'm about to suffocate and die! Bite sized pieces weren't much of a step in the right direction either - gagging is nothing in comparison to feeling chunks of un-chewed food hanging from the roof of your mouth - ick!! The point is - do not get braces on the inside of your mouth! UNLESS you never want to eat again - then by all means, by my guest!
However here's a quick shot of my teeth now! The worst tooth is still being ugly - sticking out into space like that! But I can feel everything has moved so violently that I can no longer clench my teeth!
Another thing I've noticed is I never smile with teeth! I have annoying dimples either way but smiling with teeth I found was never flattering. I tried to give it a go - but awkward half open duck mouth/pout shenanigans happened. Definitely something to work on!! (also: I'm in support of shamelessly taking photos of oneself - most ladies are guilty of this! heh)
While I'm posting a photo of myself, I need to take everyone's attention to the scarf I'm wearing (my absolutely favourite in my collection - impulse purchase whilst being wooed by the sexy French-man in the Galleries Lafyette Chanel store - neutrals and off blacks, I'm such a sucker <3).
I love scarves! Scarves are probably the best thing since sliced bread (oh sliced bread - how I miss you). Being the 'token goth' in most social situations, throwing a scarf onto my usual black ensemble brightens it like you would not believe. I know this isn't really a new or exciting revelation - scarves have been around since 700 BC! Although apparently they were used as sweat clothes, to wipe the sweat from the neck and face in hot weather... The point is, I cannot advocate the humble scarf as much as it deserves! Summer is around the corner - but a little silk number will suit any cute summery dress! It may even save you from dreaded chest sunburn!
Bisous my lovelies!!

*I would never do that! But I sure know of a few people that definitely should jump stat!
