What I'm not supposed to have:
- gum (mostly sugarless)
- soda
- popcorn
I decided to never chew gum, so I could go up into the nameless ranks of people who never chewed gum with their braces that no one cares about, but then one day, I decided, I WANT GUM! So I decided not to ever have sugar gum, just chewing gum. (I didn't exactly fancy large permanent orange spots where my braces used to be.) I don't drink soda, so obviously I didn't break that rule. I didn't even think about the popcorn. Can you imagine going to see a movie without it? Well I can. not. I just started eating it, and I am still perfectly fine.
When I left the orthodontist office place, I had my braces cemented onto my teeth for what seemed life forever, and a bag containing a perfectly normal toothbrush (I don't care what they said, I compared it to my other one and they were the same.) floss, floss threaders, a timer, and a laminated guide to what I can and cant do with braces (what did they think I was going to do with that? Frame it in my bathroom? No, I looked at it then threw it in the cabinets under my sink.) I was supposed to floss every night, between every tooth, otherwise I would have my braces longer. I flossed for about...2 nights, then gave up since it took about fifteen minutes, not counting brushing my teeth. Every time I go to the orthodontist, they always say I do such a fantastic job at brushing and flossing my teeth. Haha.
