9/11 Brace Face

I got my braces today. I've attempted to do this in the Philippines before but I made a bunch of excuses just to delay it. I guess it really is a lot more expensive here in the US than it is in the PH. I'm paying for it anyway so this is one of the free-willing stuff that I have without any parental holdbacks and baggage.

I didnt get the invisalign aside from the fact that it's double the price of the one I'm having, is it wouldn't really hurt my mouth at all. And since you know that I have been bingeing so many times a day, I just thought I'd really need help from a physical restraint this time around. The regular braces would provide me that pain I need >:) let's just cross fingers!

I asked the dentist to just have it simply silver. I didn't like to put any colored stuff because it doesn't look formal. You'll look like a kid and you'd seem like you shouldn't be taken seriously....you'll look like a pathetic highschool freshman. Also, the confusion of which color to pick is just an unnecessary hassle.

Speaking of the dentist....he's a gorgeous man. Btw, I didn't go to
Manhattan this time because I was looking for a place that's not more than 7mins away from my place just in case of dental emergencies. I don't like walking around manhattan so much when I look freaky anyway. Going back, the dentist is gorgeous because he's very approachable, entertaining, nice, calm, sweet, comfortable and humorous. He's easy on the eyes too! You'd actually think he's gay because of the way he talks but he is a family man. He's wife is his clinic's front desk/receptionist and they already have two kids, and another one riding 5months on her mommy's belly. He reminds me of Barney Stinson without being extensively talkative, rude, dirty, and crazy. He might be more of a Niel Patrick Harris than Barney. Idk why I thought of that, maybe because of the body built as well and his hair style.

After his assistant did something-I-do-not-know-of in my mouth, he took over with his mask on. I felt conscious at first because I didnt know it was him (blame the mask). I thought it was another younger dentistwho's, not more than 25yo, who's freakin smokin hot. But when he started to talk and being accommodating, nice and comfy....I automatically concluded: wow, he's nosebridge and up actually makes him look young! An gorgeous!
His wife is pretty...beautiful rather. She's petit & her English is not as good as his husband's but she's nice too. I guess their both Latina&Latino. But whatever, they look great together!

I'm posting a picture I took two days before bracing...I'll update this post for an after shot.
