Today was my dentist cleaning appointment. Well they called me back as normal, and the nice hygenist, Heather started cleaning my teeth. She used that instrument that has the little sharp end on it. She scraped my teeth for forever, and then polished them with stuff that left sand in my m0uth. Okay, it really wasn't sand, but it felt like it! haha
My mom wanted to talk to Dr. Gary about my teeth, so they called her back from the waiting room. My mom explained to him what my orthodontist had said about my baby tooth...Yes, I have a baby tooth and I am almost sixteen... So, Dr. Gary decided to take an x-ray of my mouth. He said that that the adult tooth HAD come up some since last year's x- ray, but it could be quite a while until it came up. I had already told my hygenist about how that my orthodontist had told me, it could be up until a year until my baby tooth was even loose. And she replied, "Yeah, I could see that..." Anyways, so Dr. Gary also checked my bite. He said I had an open bite. I'm not sure what that means.. Maybe it has something to do with an over bite.
I have two twelve year molars that have came in, and two that are now coming in. Lately, I have not been able to chew on the right side because it hurts really bad. Dr. Gary said today that I have erupted gum tissue over my molar because my mandabile hasn't grown enough!! So, I have this really weird looking gum over top of my molar. I don't know why I'm even writing about all this. I'm sure it's not too interesting.
Well, see I had braces put on my top teeth when I was nine. My teeth were very crooked and I had a bad over bite, and they said if I fell or something, I could break my teeth. So they said it was phase one, and that I'd have to have braces on again. Well I was hoping that I wouldn't have them again, but it looks rather like I am going to have to have them again. However, they can't put them on until I lose my baby tooth and get my twelve year molars in. But, I am very grateful that I am fortunate enough to be able to have braces put on again if I have to have them.
I also have four wisdom teeth that haven't came in yet. My orthodontist told my mom that I have four "evil" wisdom teeth. What an interesting way to describe it! They can't remove them until I get my twelve year molars in. lol
My dentist told me at the end of my visit, "Well, I agree with your orthodontist. We'll just have to wait...." So, I'll just be waiting for my twelve year molars to come in, and for my adult tooth to come up and my baby tooth to loosen. While I am waiting, I'll just continue to smile. =) Smiling is my favorite!
Hope you enjoyed this little story about my teeth. If you didn't....well....you can forget you ever read such a boring blog post.
Have a great day!

Ooooooh. Sounds REALLY painful. I had to get braces... Well, on March 1st it will be the one-year anniversary. My twin sister didn't have to get braces, since I was the only one who sucked her thumb for WAYYYYYYY too many years. I'll most likely get them off on the 28th of this month. I had actually been praying 5 months ago that God would make a way for my braces to come off in 6 months. On the 28th of February, (had it not been for the leap year) it will have been 1 day before the 6 months is up. I was supposed to wear them for 18 months. But Lord willing I will wear them for a year... Prayer works!
Did you have to have an expander? With the little key? I had to have that in for 3 months. It wasn't that bad. It hurt to get it off though... I thought it would pull my teeth out. It didn't though...
My teacher's little adpted girl is only 5 years old, and she has to have several surgeries, along with close to 8 years or so of braces ahead of her...
I just turned 16! I don't know if I got my 12 year molars though. I never noticed; so I might have. I'm getting some kind of molars coming in, though I have NO idea which ones.
And smiling is Exceedingly fun. I smile most of the time. It's so hard not to, and my mouth has just gotten used to it. :oD

I am so sorry! Oh, well, you can still smile with braces. Hope you lose your tooth soon! Arthur tied a string to his tooth then tied it to a doorknob and shut it. =)
Hey, Autumn! That's a good idea about what Arthur did. Of course, I would only do what he did. ;) But the bad thing is, the adult tooth hasn't came in so I would be toothless for like a year! haha Thanks for the ideas though!
