no braces! | life♥

hello and welcome back! hope you are all well :)

sorry again but today is another little post about me again, apologies! however this is one of those things that will hopefully only happen once in my life and that is getting my braces removed! (little round of applause!)

so i first got my braces on a couple of days before (or it may have been after I'm not too sure!) my 13th birthday, all because i have a couple of teeth that are slightly too small so the rest of my teeth weren't in the right places. anyway i wont go into too much detail but the actually whole process probably started when i was 11, because my first orthodontist said that i could have it done on the NHS but i would have to go on a long waiting list. so i waited and waited and after around 18months i finally got them on.

before i was quite excited to have them, not because i thought my teeth were that bad but because i always looked really young for my age and i thought braces would make me look older. BIG NO NO. this was not the case and i just remember sitting in the car after just having them on and almost crying on my way to school because they looked so bad! however i soon got used to them and although i never liked them, i knew that it would be worth it in the end...

and they so were! im so glad i got them done and because i only got them off a few days ago i cant stop smiling! they really helped me improve my smile and i love my new teeth! i think they look so much better than they did, see for yourself...

So there you have it folks! My long and painful journey to getting the perfect smile (but i have to say i do think it was worth it!) see you soon...

(ps. song of the day is "smile" by lily allen, because i think it is quite appropriate and we were discussing old songs that we used to sing when we were kids today)
