let this be a warning to NEVER skip brushing your teeth
hah! so i got my braces off a few days ago and my teeth look super straight and amazing right? TURNS OUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TEETH IS GOING THROUGH DEMINERALIZATION 💔. And i wasn’t even that horrible with teeth hygiene either lol. I brushed twice a day, made sure there wasn’t food stuck in my teeth and have never even had a cavity.
But freaking turns out that if you don’t brush at the very top of your teeth, plaque builds under your braces and can lead to your enamel weaking and starting to wear down which is what happened to me. I was not able to see a regular dentist for a few years either, which made this whole thing worse. Most days i would end not having enough time to fully go through the whole 20 minute process of using a chuzz waterpick and a little brush so while i would brush it would just be with my normal brush.
NOW I HAVE WHITE SPOTS ALL OVER MY TEETH AND ITS SO EMBARRASSING 💔💔💔💔 NEVER EVER SKIP THROUGHLY BRUSHING YOUR TEETH
