The day I decided to change my smile!


My name is Stephanie - I've been the office administrator here at Wave Dental in Port Perry for the last year and a half.  I'm also someone who has always had issues with her smile.

I am now, not only an employee of Wave Dental, but also a patient!  Under the watchful eye of Dr. Connie Yong (my amazing boss), my orthodontic transformation is about to begin!  

For me, it has been a long road to orthodontic treatment.  As a kid, I got teased about my teeth...a lot!  "Chipmunk" or "Bucky-Beaver" were the favourite shouts across the playground.  It made me extremely self conscious and uncomfortable and although it never stopped me from smiling, I hated showing my teeth.  I still do today (unless being coerced in doing head shots for the dental office...lol)

This blog has been started to let you, the reader, know about the process of getting braces - the good, the bad and the ugly.  I will share my experiences with you, and hopefully, get a few of our other patients to act as "guest bloggers" to share their own experiences.  

Although I work for Wave Dental, please rest assured, the opinions expressed in this blog are mine and mine alone.  The descriptions of procedures and other treatment have been written not from a clinical stand point, but rather, from the viewpoint of someone who has a limited (but growing!) knowledge of dentistry and orthodontics.  These are my personal experiences - I am no expert...TRUST ME!!!

I hope that you will join me on this crazy journey!  I'm sure it will be more fun with company!


Keep smiling!
Stephanie
