Mayaaaaaa😝😝

i've had braces for a little over a year and this girl is absolutely right ( and drop dead gorgeous). 😍😍 braces hurt soooo much after you first get them on ( for about a week ) then after every adjustment/tightening ( for about two to three days ). not much you can do abt it 🤷🏽‍♀️😬 but after they're very cute and fashionable!! especially w colors and not just clear or silver ( no disrespect, just kinda boring 😅 ) and she's def right about the build up I brush my teeth 3 times a day and there's still buildup 😭😭 AND THE FOOD BE ANNOYING AH. bad breaths never really been a problem for me but i also constantly chew gum, like 5 sticks a day. but i believe you can do itt!! ( i set a reminder for the day i get them off to go reward myselff yuu should too ) u got ths! 🫶
