Do the Brace Hokey Cokey...

...and turn around haha! I'm joking!

Well it's pretty close to Christmas and I have a new aligner that I will be wearing until the second week in January (better keep it fresh). Next lot of impressions are to be taken by Mrs. P on the 7th Jan.

So I was sitting in the office absorbing my surroundings yesterday, all everybody seems to be doing is eating. I was trying my best not to get involved until people started bringing in home baked christmas goodies and wafting them in my face.  That's when I started the scoffing and that's when the brace hokey cokey began....in out in out, slava all about! (Honestly how do I think of these things haha!)

I had my work Christmas do last Thursday and for the first time people began to notice my straight teeth. Lauren who I hadn't seen since the start of my treatment took this photo and was pretty impressed at how better they looked :D

It was the Newcastle Business Christmas Carol Service on Tuesday lunch time. I thoroughly enjoyed it after I realised the impossibility of reaching any key with my braces in. I took them out mid 'Oh little town of Bethlehem' and managed to get involved with the rest of the singing. Not sure those around me were too happy about it. 

Thanks again to Sunderland Smile for my Christmas Card & best wishes to you all.

Something funny is bound to happen over Christmas and I'll let you know!

Half way there...I think.

Had my treatment week 10 appointment and I think I'm just last half way through my treatment.

Mrs. P looked at my teeth last night and was amazed at how much has changed already. It was pretty funny though. She said she should be able to check them each time and say 'oh that's good, exactly as expected' however she still goes 'wow how good is that technology!! They are looking amazing!' Respect to www.quickstraightteeth.co.uk

I'm getting new aligners next week to last me over Christmas and then I'll have an appointment in 2013. I have attached a pic stitch of my first photo and one taken today. You can definitely see a difference in the front two and bottom row are slowly getting there.

A little set back

Hello all,

My appointment was cancelled this week as Mrs. P is poorly. Hope she gets well soon and is snuggled up at home out of this snow.

I am keeping these aligners for another week. Remember last time I had a three week aligner stint there was the garlic incident? So far so good this time.

Well if you exclude last Friday!
Last Friday I was so excited about leaving work early I got home at 4pm and realised I didn't have my braces in. They were in the box on my desk. Such a pointless early finish as I had to ring around hoping somebody was still in, then jump in the car to go and collect them. I got home usual time in the end, dopey.

My appointment for the next set of impressions is Monday again. Hope it's as funny as a few weeks ago. Mrs. P gave me the mirror to look into and there was pink goo all over the place. Pink goo lipstick, bits hanging off my chin, we had a right laugh. Imagine if she let me leave, the reception girls would have been thinking what on earth is that?

The next months could be a laugh if this weather stays wintery. For my appointments I have to get from Newcastle using public transport, pick up my car and then drive on to Oliver's. Hearing the stories from last nights snow drives I could be needing to leave work at lunch time to make it.

We shall see how things go. Aligners are still working well and feeling comfy.

Keep smiling.. Jo xxxx
