Week (T-1) - Putting on the bands.

Today is the day the stupid seperators (which stayed with me for one week) were removed. The blue rubber rings are now replaced with something more permanent. Yet for another 2 more years or so!

The experience the moment the Dr removed the seperators were relieving, however short-lived. The next thing i felt was that he was trying different sizes of metal rings on my teeth, counting numbers like 14..15..to fit my molars. Alas, they were fitted in, and glued, and my first, closest, pre-braces experience.

A little bit of skin on the bottom row from the cheeks seems to have been rubbed off. Hopefully no ulcers! Eating is going to be quite the chore since I can't really close my bite. My right molars close up and my left has a little gap. In fact, the right side feels.."thick" or like something "in-between" my teeth when I put. Gotta raise this up next week. My actual braces next Thursday! Can't wait.

Before:
Teeth with seperators

After:
The first signs of a braces treatment!
The lines in blue are apparently the anchorage point or the bands for the braces.

Be back for more updates next week!
