New Gear

[forever_aqua]

Well, seems like I've picked up some new gear as of the last couple weeks. First of all, I got my palate expander installed on Tuesday. The thing is a pain to talk with; I don't sound quite as bad today as I did yesterday, but pronouncing a long "e" is still a real hassle at this point. Apparently, I'll be needing this to stay in for eight months,

That thing looks like some fscked up torture device!! Ouch! My dentist told me that I needed braces when I was in jr. high.. but as soon as I saw what they looked like and imagined how that would feel, I decided to just stick with slightly crooked teeth. They're not even that crooked really. YE GODS.. can you take it out like a retainer or are you stuck with it? XO

The thing's glued in for the next eight months. I wish it was removable, that'd make chewing a heck of a lot easier.

That thing looks devilish.

The expander doesn't look too great either.

And yet, I'd gladly have them trade places. Though my phone's warranty doesn't cover water damage, so I suppose that's out.

;o; That thing looks 1,000x worse than anything they put in my mouth. *hugs* Wanna go to the beach sometime tomorrow? :D

I've got some things to take care of during the day, but if you're up for it, I could go for some LAN gaming later on.

OO wtf? owww..that does look painful. Why all the dental work? And especially why that?

Well, I've been needing braces for a while, just kept putting it off. The expander is to correct a crossbite and widen the roof of the mouth. Still, even this thing beats the surgical way of doing it.

/shivers. I never had to have an expander thingie, but I remember those things they attach to yer molars. They always cut my cheeks ._.

Yeah, those aren't much fun either. :(
