If you have or have had braces, you will surely feel identified with these facts…
We have listened to many people complain about bracesbut this diatribe that Elizabeth Abou Haidar wrote for the portal radioonebrought us many smiles, that’s why we translated it and «tropicalized» it for you…
1. Everyone wants to see them
As soon as you put on braces, your mouth becomes a public place, with which everyone has to do, not only your relatives, who do not stop giving you recommendations, but your friends, to whom you have to show one and your dental tool again, until they get used to it or it stops being fun, whichever comes first.
2. Your orthodontist becomes part of your family
Soon after starting your treatment, you realize that you see your orthodontist too much. In fact, you have more dates with him than with your partner and you know more about his life than many of your lifelong friends. You cultivate a long-term relationship, so much so that you already have appointments assigned for the entire coming year.
3. Apple in a healthy body
This is the only way you can eat an apple, if you don’t have to mash it up and eat it by the spoonful as if you were a toothless baby.
4. Sometimes they break
Nothing worse than a brace that bursts! It is catastrophic for the future of your smile, since you will have to go back to your orthodontist, one more time, to have it fixedY you’re going to add another million years to the amount of time you have to wear your braces.
5. The pain
Right after you got them tightened, it doesn’t feel too bad, but the next day, when you wake up the next morning, BAM! In fact, the pain is unreal. Did someone punch you in the jaw while you were sleeping or what?
6. Those damn tires
When you don’t use your rubber bands as you should, you face the disappointed face of the orthodontist, who, shaking his head in disapproval, tells you the extra time you will have to wear your braces for disobeying his orders.
7. Those inhuman little rubbers
So you start judiciously using your damn rubber bands, discovering that eating anything but yogurt causes you such excruciating pain that you remember why you didn’t put them on. Bonus: you go on a forced diet.
8. They want to kill you
You wake up in the middle of the night thinking about the possibility that that rubber that just slipped down your throat could have killed you.
9. A food trap
If you have ever felt that horrible feeling of having a piece of meat stuck between your teeth, imagine what it feels like to have a thousand of them in the metal recesses of your braces! Bonus: You will continue on a forced diet.
