My alarm went off at 6:30 I clicked snooze and got off the couch and went upstairs to the bed and laid back down. Then I plugged my phone up into my charger and set my alarm for 7:25 and went back to sleep. When it went off again to wake me up and I got up and went straight to my mom to remind her that I'm going out of town for the weekend and she asked me about everything again to make sure everything was okay and reminded me about my orthodontist appointment. So, I ran my shower picked out my outfit for the day and then jumped in the shower, then when I got out my momma was asking me where her phone was. I said it was on the bed, she said no it was not and then I called her phone and walked out to the ironing board. That's when she found it and I asked for my card once again and she gave it to me and said don’t spend all your money now.

After almost a lifetime of going to orthodontist appointments for myself, I began to realize what a great job becoming an orthodontist would be. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I had began the first stage of braces. After that, I was given instructions of how to properly take care of my teeth, such as which foods I couldn’t eat. I did not enjoy the entire experience throughout the years, but was relieved when they were removed before my first year of high school. Then I put on my retainer, and discovered it was like having braces

I would literally have tears streaming down my face, but still try to smile and say “it’s okay mama, it’s worth it.” I never once complained about it. Finally the six months were up and I was ready for braces! I didn’t get them on immediately though, so you probably can tell I was a little upset but, I knew I would get them eventually and I did. Two weeks later, after they used spacers on the back of

In years past, orthodontic treatment involved painful, inconvenient, and unsightly metal and bracket braces that were glued to the surface of the teeth and bond by wires, which would progressively move teeth into a more healthy alignment. Advances in dental technologies, procedures, and products have transformed the industry. Today, more convenient and less painful clear aligners are used in place of the old fashioned braces.

It was midday and I was sitting at my desk eating my lunch when I heard the phone ring. It was a very surprising matter that someone had called me at this time of day. I then rushed abruptly to the phone because I knew it must be urgent. My favorite news reporter Marc Hardy was on, so I decided to stop and listened.

I needed help picking up a pencil. I was forced to quit dance and stopped swimming. Shopping took hours because few pants stretched around the extra inches the brace gave me. I had constant skin irritation and rashes. The summer heat was unbearable underneath a brace, and I could literally wring drops of sweat out of my undershirt.

Many people suppose that traditional orthodontic braces may not be the best choice when choosing braces. Dr. Randy Gittess argues that “... the main benefit of Invisalign is that the system is significantly less noticeable than traditional braces… patients also experience greater convenience, especially when cleaning the teeth” (Gittess Orthodontics par. 5). This evidence means that other options like Invisalign, offer a less noticeable way of treating orthodontic issues. This is beneficial because Invisalign works through systems of clear aligners that are not as visible as traditional braces. Patients experience greater convenience cleaning their teeth because another benefit of Invisalign is that it is removable. Invisalign is removed when eating, drinking, and brushing the teeth. Since

It's a Thursday afternoon my mom comes home from work and off to the orthodontist we go. I checking in and sit down in the first chair and see Dr. Bartley. He's always happy to see me and my mother. After he tightens my braces my mom's up next. After my mother is done he does his usual routine of asking us if we are feeling any discomfort or pain and as always our answer is no. He then laughs and says, “Are you sure?” and we always answer yes knowing that my mom will be coming back a week later complaining about her wire.

Life is constantly changing. Sometimes its big ways, but the majority happens little by little. One example in my life, slowly changed how I thought about other people. This was when I had my braces for about 5 years. In the beginning, I had to go through a surgery to expose a tooth. I saw absolutely no reason why I had to get my teeth corrected which I thought was just a cosmetic issue. Because of this thinking, I was pretty grumpy towards my orthodontist and his staff. About a year and a half, something just clicked and I realized it wasn't their fault for doing their job. If there was anybody to blame it would be my parents and there was no way I would be difficult towards them. I decided to start being polite to my orthodontist and would

At 8:00 AM on a Friday morning, I sleepily climbed out of my slumber. Then it hit me. Today was the day that I’m going to get braces. I shuddered with dread.

The internet is an amazing place where trends can come from nowhere and disappear just as fast. Just because these trends are popular, it doesn’t mean they are always safe. Sometimes it can be quite the opposite, even proving fatal in a few rare instances. Luckily the new trend we are going to cover is not fatal, though it can do permanent damage to your teeth. Perhaps swept up in the modern D.I.Y. (do it yourself) or simply looking for a cheap fix, youtube videos are popping up showing people how to do D.I.Y. braces for straightening your teeth. While people are posting their D.I.Y. videos, dentists are responding with their own claims about how dangerous the practice is.
