Hello ladies,
I love sharing little events that make me extremely happy with you guys... I suppose I use this as a journal/diary type thing sometimes, there's more to us beauty bloggers than lipsticks and blush! Anyways, as most of you know (I think) I had braces. I had them on from September 2009 until today! YUP :D I got my braces off, and it is literally the best feeling in the world. I was really self conscious about my teeth beforehand, but now I can't stop smiling. If you're toying with the idea of getting braces but are worried about the pain or don't like the way they look... honestly, it is so worth it.
I thought I would do a before/during/after, because you know... I'm loving it right now ;) Before I got my braces, as I said - super self conscious, so it was actually really hard trying to find a photo with my old teeth. So this was all I got...

I scribbled out my best friend's face, lol because I really don't think she'd appreciate me putting this photo out there haha. As you can see my main problem were the gaps *thanks mum* and yes, this is literally the only photo I can find and it doesn't really show it very well but meh.  This time I covered my niece's face - why do I spend time with people who are constantly making stupid faces?!?! A lot of people have trouble with wearing braces, thinking they're ugly and whatnot. But I really didn't mind them one bit, I kind of knew the end result would so be worth it. Also - it's not so much of a 'pain' it's just an ache, which doesn't last that long at all so don't be put off!  The braces are gone and finally I feel happy showing my teeth! The feeling when you get them taken off is <3!! natalieslovex |
Your teeth look lovely! I'll be expecting lots of toothy smiles in your upcoming posts!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that having braces is worth it! I used to have really awful top teeth, they were wonky and gappy and i was also missing the two pointy ones (i cant remember the proper name for them! primary school science is failing me). I LOVED my teeth so much after i had my braces off, i remembering saying 'oh my God i have teeth' when i first saw them and then i was all smiles! Unfortunately 4 years later they've moved back again... I'm considering getting caps now the only thing putting me off is the price!
I think the moral of my story is if you want braces - go for it! But if they give you a retainer dont EVER stop wearing it! :)
xx
@Teresa-Rosa - Thank you, you definitely will be seeing more toothy smiles :D lol!
ReplyDeleteOooh I'm pretty much the same but I ONLY has the pointy ones, and not the flat ones that are supposed to come first! Yeah that's the only thing I'm worried about but I've vowed I will continue to wear my retainer into my 50s! Haha
Yeah dental work is so expensive!! If I could've afforded it I probably would've had an Invisalign. Hope it all goes well for you though :)
xoxo
i know how good it feels to get your braces off! theyre deffo always worth getting in the long run though! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being able to feel your teeth! ha. :) xx
You look lovely! I got my braces when I was 10 and wore them for just over a year, I was lucky having them so young because it means that everybody in my secondary school has only ever seen me with straight teeth haha(:,xxx
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! I had braces for about 2 years maybe and it is the best feeling when you have them off. I always remember eating a banana just after i had them off and it was the best! My teeth just sliced through it haha.. you'll have to try it :P

Beautiful! I had a combination of retainers and fixed braces for about 4years! I actually cried when i had mine taken off as i felt stripped of something that was "me" lol
ReplyDeleteI love my teeth now though and the years of braces were definitely worth it!
Enjoy your new teeth! xxx
Definately agree about the retainer comment, I lost the invisable one they gave me for my top teeth almost straight away. Luckily they've stayed pretty straight, the bottom have shifted about a bit though which is disappointing! Yours look lovely now!! x
ReplyDeleteYou now have that gorgeous smile! Who loves having braces, anyway? But having them can be a great help in achieving the perfect set of teeth that you've always wanted. =D

Good for you! Your teeth are looking fantastic, and it's great to see your smile without those braces. It feels so satisfying to get those removed, right?
