Nov 14th – Getting Braces!
Today was the day I got braces! All week leading up to my appointment, I had butterflies in my stomach. I wasn’t nervous for the braces to be put on, instead, my nerves were about how many things in my life would change during the process and afterward. The moment that I walked into the office all the butterflies turned to pure excitement. I immediately felt at home when I heard, “Hi Taryn! How are you?” Everybody in the office is so friendly, and always smiling. Brooke, the assistant who helped place my brackets, brought me to my chair. The process was a breeze and during the whole thing, I was very comfortable. Dr. Allen and Brooke both talked me through what they were doing while placing the brackets. I got to choose the colors for my elastics, and then it was over. I had braces! I went over to the mirror to look and I’m pretty sure I didn’t stop smiling for the rest of the day!
