Braces 2
You all read my post on my getting my top teeth braces, and as you know, i do not have them on my bottom teeth. Well now I do. I got them put on on October 21, 2010. First they adjusted my top teeth, which went really smoothly, and then they started the process of putting them on my bottom teeth. 30 minutes later when that was done, there was only small details, like the color. I went with orange and black for Halloween. Then they built up really annoying glue on my back molars to prevent me from biting off my braces(which i already did before they put the glue on.). I am getting them adjusted on December 16, 2010

Braces
On August 18, 2010 I walked into Wilk&Wilk orthodontist just like I often do. However, usually I am going in to see when I will get braces, but this time I was actual getting them!! When I first came in I had no idea what to expect. When they called my name, they took me to the x-ray room. After taking a few x-rays, they took me into the back. There were rows and rows of chairs most of them filled with kids getting their braces tightened.
The doctors took me over to an empty chair and told me to sit down. One of the doctors(I had 3) noticed that my mom was using her ipad. So for a long time we all sat and talked about the ipads. What a weird thing to happen when you were about to get braces. After a while, they all finished, so they started to work on me.
First they cleaned my teeth with bad tasting grit. Then they put on the first brackets. They would put a little glue on my teeth, put on the bracket, then harden the glue with UV light. To do the front brackets, the put a circle thing in my mouth to keep it open. Before they hardened those brackets though, they needed my orthodontist Dr.Brian Wilk, to check them.
When he came over he saw my moms ipad, so we started talking about them again. He asked me if I had flight control(which I ended up buying a soon as I got home from the orthodontist) and I tried to say no, but I couldn't since I had the thing in my mouth In the end, I got the braces on just fine. They were a little sore for the first couple days, but by the 4th day, which is the day I am writing it, I just post published this, they got better. I only have my front teeth on right now, so on October 21, 2010 I am going to get the bottom teeth on. I will post another post when I get the bottom braces, but until then keep coming back every monday to see what I have posted.

My cavity
Once I had discovered that I had got my first cavity I was really scared about what it would be like to get it filled. I thought the needle would be very painful and take a long time. I also expected the drill to be huge and take a long time, and that it would make a huge hole in my tooth. I thought that I was also going to have to take laughing gas to help me get the needle(I am really afraid of needles).When I got to my dentist I felt like I had been sitting in the wating room for hours. Once I was finally called the dentist took me to the big chair where I was going to get my cavity filled. At this point I was really freeking out. Then to my surprise the dentist told me that my cavity was so tiny that I didn't need a needle or laughing gas. The drill was so small that the drill bit looked like one of thoes small screwdrivers. He slowly started to drill through my cavity, and it didn't even hurt one bit, he put a tiny silver filling in my tooth, and says that I am done. The filling is so tiny that most people say that it is white because they can't see it. In the end getting it filled was not so bad. I guess It was nothing to get all scared about.
