I can't wait until my next adjustment, which is scheduled to be this Friday. It's not like I can't wait to get sores or numb teeth again... it's just I can't wait until I see more progress with my teeth. I am getting so impatient. I wish the ortho can fast-track me and just give me the maximum treatment my teeth can possibly take. I think I can handle it.
One thing I came into realization lately is that my braces are not so temporary. It's not like bad lipstick you put on. You can wipe it out if you don't like the color. With braces, you can't take it out. You can't say -- oh, I need to take a picture, so I will take out the braces temporarily so I can get a better smile. It just doesn't work that way.
I am also getting paranoid of my braces lately -- more so now than when I first got them. I feel like people are noticing them more. Maybe because my ligs are so yellow now with coffee stains that all my teeth appear yellow. I'm conscious of that. And that may be why I am so anxious for the next adjustment. I am wondering if I should go bold and try a different lig color? A color that is still subtle but stain-proof. The bone color ligs I got were a little better than the other one when it comes to staining, but they still stain with coffee.
