Today things started getting a bit "real."
Went
to Dr. Mai to be fitted for the brackets that will hold the expander in place in my mouth. It was like fitting a ring - trying on various sizes until you find the one that won't slip off. It was
easy (for the assistant), thankfully, but when Stephanie, the assistant, went to prepare the impression
"goo" (watermelon flavor, yum!) it was a totally different feeling to
have the brackets in my mouth. I could feel whatever part it was touching the insides of my cheeks and that was the "it's real" feeling..."This is what it's going to feel like...kind of..." Stephanie came back, did the
impression, took the brackets off and put another set of spacers in my mouth (these held the space that was already made) and I was on my way. Next Wednesday will be totally
different since that's when I get "the appliance"
Dun, dun, duuuuuuunnnn!
