After what seems like an eternity of the dentist saying, 'maybe just one more month', I finally was relieved of my braces today! Hallelujah!! NOT. I now find out that despite my teeth as scarily straight as Cheryl Cole's and far too perfect for the rest of my face, the treatment still has a long, long way to go. So far in fact that I get to have wire stuck with glue to the back of my teeth for all of eternity (i.e. when I die and someone is dressing me for the funeral, they will be able to look at my teeth and see that despite the rest of my body being limp, ugly, and weary, my teeth are still in a precise curve as a result of a wire behind them. Just what everyone wishes for when they die!).
Furthermore, I now am lucky enough to receive a retainer to wear at night making me look only slightly less like Jaws from James Bond than I have appeared for the last 16 months! Oh and did I mention, I now get to have a lithp (sorry - lisp) for the next year and a half.
Not that I'm ungrateful, I hasten to add, for the shining glory that is now my teeth but I really wouldn't mind just leaving the treatment now, even if they do slide back slightly. Anyway, I now have to go and stare at myself in a mirror and marvel at the resemblence to Cheryl Cole....
