HEY AMAZING SUPPORTERS! It's so nice to write a blog again! I know I haven't been updating everyone about my braces and my life (I'm trying to write a few blogs and send out the different links as one single message so it's fasterrr), and I am terribly sorry for that 😔.
Recently, during my most recent braces check-up, the orthodontist revealed something exciting! Basically, I was lying on the dentist chair and the dentist was checking my teeth and the progress of my braces, and he said that my teeth would likely be done by the end of the year! That meant that I could remove my braces before 2026!🥳🥳 Initially, he said that I would have to have braces for about 1.5 years, which is normal. I was so overjoyed to hear about the update! I cannot wait for the end of the year to see how I'd look like without braces 😂.
However, at the same time, I do not really want to remove my braces. They have been a huge part of my life and living with them has become normal. I keep recalling how I had to learn how to talk, eat, and smile when I first got my braces and I cannot imagine having to relearn that all over again once I remove them!😱 Luckily, I'm sure it'll be easier to relearn the skills after removing my braces.
Another concern I have about removing my braces is I'm not sure how my classmates or friends will view me. This might seem small and pathetic but I believe that it is a common problem for everyone. Often, we are too self-conscious and are worried about being judged. If we increase our self-esteem and not focus on what other people are thinking, we can overcome this problem. Plus, whether I want to or not, the braces will have to be removed someday, it's just a matter of time.⌛ I have to step out of my comfort-zone and continue to live my life fully. 👍
Finally, thank you so much to all my amazing supporters for always being there for me whenever I need help.🙏 I am so thankful for all of you. Even as my braces journey is slowly coming to an end, I will never forget how you have contributed and changed my life. Do continue to watch out for my occasional blogs! 🥰 Until the next blog, may you have a wonderful day ahead!
Best regards ❤️,
Adlyn :)
