I am FINALLY on braces!
Let me talk about my experience in the clinic.
This dentist is really no frills, chopchop do. Normally I read that they take about 40minutes to fit in the whole procedure. He took only about 20minutes. Anyway, it was fast, and I couldn't really see what was happening. By the time I knew it, I was asked to choose my bracket colours. I oh so wanted PINK badly, but I had to settle with BLUE since no PINK available. Anyway, the procedure is painless, except for the metal strand pocking my lower right end. Thankfully I asked him to cut it at the end of the procedure otherwise it's going to be hell for me.
Anyway...for my first meal with braces I had wanton mee. It was fine. No pain, nothing. Wait before that I had Mc.Flurry! Wow. Talk about forbidden fruit. (I should try to find a list of forbidden fruit for braces users some time when I'm free.) Mee got stuck inbetween the bands...I had all been prepared to brush my teeth, and I did! And they actually..hurt.
I felt confident of eating solid food, and I was very puzzled why people can't. I figured...maybe it was because I was accustomed to one week of bands, unlike most people who put them in rows, in a sitting or 2. And thus, I have my molars!
Alas, just after lecture at 530, I went to buy myself oatmeal cookies from Subway : my new favourites. Ouch. My front teeth all hurt trying to bite them. Thank God for molars! They are starting to hurt now. I retract my confidence just 9 hours earlier.
That's...quite about it for now... some pictures ( not well taken sadly ) for you guys :)
Yups. Can you see my little baby tooth at the top right (my left actually). Haha.
Let's see how much changes 7 months from now.. yay.
Jonathan: shall live to tell the tale!
