Hi and welcome back to my channel. Welcome if it's the first time you're here.
My name is Stephanie, I'm 21 and the reason why I decided
to make YouTube videos is to document my experience with braces.
So today is the first step of the process. I'm going to get impressions
this morning before getting my braces next week so I'll take you
with me along the journey, at every appointment so that you can see
the process. I'll ask my orthodontist if they allow me to film
everything and if they do, I'll bring you with me through every step of the treatment
so you can see the changes that happen. So here we go!
You'll have the impression that you have sand in your mouth. It's really what it
feels like. We'll rinse thoroughly afterwards.
Here, we are polishing my teeth, then we'll rinse them, floss and my teeth will be ready
to take the impressions.
You have on week left to eat candy, gum, gummies, sticky things. If you want to eat a corncob before we put on
your braces, it's now! Then we can't bite it!
But she can still eat normally, except for hard things?
Everything we eat from our hand like apples, pears, plums etc. They all need to be cut
in pieces. We have to be careful with raw vegetables.
You'll have to get used to cooked vegetables
You must cut raw vegetables, even baby carrots!
Not that bad!
There's one step left.
Here, we're taking impressions of how my two jaws close together.
Great! It really looks like a smile.
Before, after.
As you just saw, I was allowed to film this morning's appointement.
I told them about my plans to document my braces journey,
all the steps. And they were really
open, they don't mind at all. So I will be able to bring you with
me at my appointments and show you what's going on at
an orthodontist appointment. You'll be able to see the process
through every step. So that's good new!
Now, about my appointment from this morning; the impressions. Honestly it really wasn't that bad.
I expected it to be way worse because of all the videos and comments I saw
of people saying that it was disgusting,
that it gives nausea and makes you want to throw up. I was really afraid that it
would happen to me, but it didn't. It went really well. The worst out of the two was
the top impressions because you can feel the paste on the top of your palate.
and it goes towards the throat. But it wasn't that bad, you can still swallow.
If I can give you one tip, it's to breathe through your nose and it takes about
30 seconds so that's not so bad and goes by quite fast. You shouldn't be too stressed
about that! Of course, it's different from one person to another but for me personally,
it went pretty well. It's really not that bad. So, that's about it for today's video.
If you have any questions, you can leave them in the comments below
and I'll be sure to answer them. You can also like this video to show me
you appreciate this content and I'll keep doing this kind of video.
Also, you can subscribe to my channel to follow me through my braces journey.
On that note, I'll see you in my next video which will be me getting
my braces. So, see you next week. Thanks!
