Braces

I recently got braces. I like them. As you can see, I got red and green colors. Following are pictures of my stuff, and how to take care of my teeth with braces. When I have braces, I can't have chewy candies, pop, or whole apples. I have to be careful with popcorn, crunchy foods, gum, or hard candies.

To brush my teeth with braces, I have to brush on top of the brackets,...

....and on bottom! This is tricky!

With this little brush, I brush in between the brackets,....

....like this! This is easy!


To floss, I thead needles like this with floss, and then,.....

....I bring it in between the brackets, and in between my teeth! This is about the hardest thing to do with braces!

This is my wax, which I use to,.....

......put on a bracket if it is painful. I used this a lot at first!

Here is all my braces stuff together!

And last, but not least, here is me before braces,......

.....and after!  I LOVE MY BRACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s painful in the start, but it’ll eventually fade, or should I say you’ll get used to the pain. Anyway, it’s just a little sacrifice. Just enjoy wearing them and play with the colors!
