During the summer, I finally had braces put on my teeth. I had been putting it off for a while because I did not know if we were going to be staying here. I have now had the braces on now for 2 months and I think I have to wear them for 2 years.

The problem with my teeth comes, in part, from the first time I wore braces almost 20 years ago. Turns out the dentists in England really messed up my teeth. They removed some of my teeth and did not straighten my teeth as they were supposed to. The result was a big overbite that was wearing down my front teeth and even the jaw bone. Clearly something had to be done.

I had been putting the work off because I did not know if I was going to have a job after each school year but I finally concluded that I needed to at least start the treatment now and, if I have to, finish the treatment in Nebraska. I started the treatment in the summer because in the spring I noticed part of one of my front teeth had broken away. I am glad the treatment has begun. I have already seen some changes and I think I will feel much better once the work is complete :)
