9 Months 23 Days
It’s been more than a month since I blogged, which is a shame coz there have been some significant developments.
Please don’t get me wrong. When I say significant, I don’t necessarily mean my braces are getting taken out…(Oh how I would love that!!)
What has happened in the past month is that I haven’t worn the rubber bands. Not out of rebellion, but because the dentist told me not to. They want to see how my teeth behave this month and then make predictions about how much longer.
The dentist seems impressed that he has closed my bite, but for some reason he doesn’t seem in a big hurry to get these metals out of my mouth!!!!!!!!!!!
I asked him how much longer, he said, till August…That means I have another 7 months.
That said, it doesn’t really feel like the end of the world :) . I’m already in my 10th month. Another 7 seems bearable. Perhaps I will do the promised 18 months that I really longed to escape.
Yesterday I ran into one girl, she is about 12 maybe. She’s had her braces for 3 YEARS…She said, they told her she’d do 2 years but kept extending. I have to say, it’s not the most encouraging news, but...I have to focus on my own race….and that race, I must run.
7 more months to go (If my dentist is to be believed.)
