As of 8am next Monday - I will be almost certainly a slobbering, spitting, slurring lisp-y dream come true.
Why? I hear you ask...
I will have braces....
I've never really had bad teeth - actually as far as teeth go they're up there in terms of whiteness and being all there. But being the vain young thing that I am, I began to notice a not so nice 'snaggle' tooth protruding my otherwise OK smile. With only a few months left on the "I will pay for your braces if you get them before you're 21" deal made by my father, I decided to go ahead and get my wisdom teeth out, in preparation for my inner sanctum to be invaded by metal.
Little did I know a few months would fly right past me and the day in which I become Lizzy "brace-face" Davey would be right at my doorstep!
There is a somewhat silver lining to all this though - I managed to convince the orthodontist to put me in 'Lingual Braces'. Lingual is Orthodontist terminology for braces that go on the inside of your teeth. I believe the pain level is a billion times worse than with regular braces - however I would rather die than face the world as a twenty something metal mouth (apologies to any of you who have braces on the outside! Kudos for being so brave! I'm sure you rock the look!)
Each week/month I think I'm going to upload a photo of my new and improving chompers - so I can track their progress and hopefully show the long and painful experience! I'll keep ya'll updated on their progress!!
Here are my teeth currently!!
See what I mean about a snaggle tooth? On the left, sticking out righttt out into space.
The end product (hopefully!!):
I find solace in the fact that my favourite country love Miley Cyrus also had Lingual Braces - her bottom teeth are looking fabulous these days! No more snaggle tooth for her. From this I can only conclude that in 9 months I will look exactly like Miley Cyrus.
But until monday - someone pass me the candy corn, toffee apple and caramel!!
Bisous xx
