After all the excitement and gluttony of Christmas life is back to normal, we are perhaps a little rounder and poorer, some of us detoxing, joining the gym again, making resolutions and finding January generally rather gloomy. Almost wishing it away for the first signs of spring. For those of you who read regularly you will be aware that I enjoy the odd coffee here and there…so I have decided […]
Christmas is upon us once again…. Shrewsbury is such a charming place at this time of year. The indoor market is fantastic for presents with locally produced gifts and really amazing food…it was the source of inspiration for my ‘secret santa!’ I easily got all my presents sorted this year…. along with a trip to Tanners. We are in the Christmas spirit at Belmont and looking forward to a well-earned […]
This time in Manchester – equally glamorous as Paris I’m sure you will agree. So far, so much fun, I am having breakfast over the river and the sun is trying to emerge casting autumnal shadows on the metropolitan skyline. I love this time of year as summer draws to a close and the crisp bright days signal the beginning of winter Yesterday we were in stitches listening to an […]
Just back from Paris for the Incognito users meeting – I already knew Incognito was a fantastic brace and the most aesthetic you can get – completely invisible as it is hidden on the inside surfaces of the teeth. But it seems it keeps getting better as 3M push more into its research and development. Mixing work and pleasure this was a great excuse to get to Paris…my top European […]
Hey I’m enjoying this, no braces my retainers look great, and yes I’m wearing them full time. Being a coffee fiend it’s sometimes annoying having to whip them out for hot drinks, I’m in Bellinis today and I have put them in my little tub for safe keeping while I enjoy my cappuccino. I recently spent time in Italy walking in the lakes, Bellini doesn’t get much more authentic I […]
Three words……they are off! And we all know what I’m talking about I am reminded of when I met with some old friends recently; I love them for their brutal honesty, quickly dismissing my vanity and asking me why was I bothering with all this brace treatment? In fact, they were almost interrogating me; why was I subjecting myself to this massive pollaver when my teeth were fine anyway? I […]
Patience! That’s all I can say.. I stated confidently at the end of last year that my braces would be off in February. It’s February already and I still have them! We encountered a small unexpected problem, essentially due to the shape of one of my premolars, which necessitated an extra adjustment in order to gain the perfection that I want (not that I am being demanding or anything.). So […]
I love Christmas and it’s only a week away! I hope everyone is feeling festive… all of you with fixed braces will be avoiding the chocolate advent calendars this year, but Christmas is not just about food.! Admire the wonderful decorations adorning the cobbled streets, and the magical window displays created by our independent traders. It’s been a hectic month spreading the festive cheer catching up with friends and family, […]
Ping! I now have to wear elastics which attach to the brace at the back on the top and run to the lower anterior region, they will improve my bite. I keep forgetting to put them back in after eating and they are lying discarded all over the house. My friends think it’s hilarious, I even played them a little tune.. I can now put them in without looking in […]
My treatment has been sailing along marvellously, thanks to Philip. I can hardly believe that it was time to put the final wire in the upper arch this week. So in it went, I hardly felt it, but later on eating dinner…. along came the pain… Ouch! This one hurts… Lucky I have a day off today, enough time to make porridge nice and soft to eat and perfect for […]
