July photo challenge day 10 LISTENING TO... Right now it's the sound of our fan. It's so warm and muggy here. The windows are open and the birds are singing outside. Had a busy morning with my Orthodontist Appointment. During COVID I had fixed braces for 18 months to straighten front wonky teeth. I was really happy with the result and no longer felt embarrassed of my smile. I've just had a further 7 weeks refinement with Invisalign braces and the shaping nuggets came off today. Ta da !! All finished now. Just awaiting a new retainer that I'll have to wear while sleeping forever to stop them moving back. If anyone thinks you're too old for braces you're never too old. I started treatment at 56 mainly down to cost and not being able to afford it before but also due to nerves. I'm really glad I went ahead. On recent photos I smile a lot whereas before even though I'd smile I was very self conscious of my teeth. Quite vain I know but if you're not happy with how you look it can really affect your self confidence and mental health. Now I'm out the other side it was so worth it 🙂👍 I only needed refinements due to my not wearing the night retainers consistently, my own stupid fault!! I'll be more vigilant this time!! Rest for the rest of the day now 💤💤 Pics of before treatment and during treatment.
