: Braces

18.12.2012

A day to remember, the day I started to put on my braces.
Followed my mum to the dentist, then.. it was my turn first. So, I went in...
My mum waited for me outside. OK. Kinda nervous when I went in, I was thinking whether it would be painful or not.

The dentist told me not to worry as it won't hurt. He said. First thing he asked me to do, open my mouth wide and he tried to put some metal thingy into my mouth. To test whether it can fit into my mouth.  Next, he put something like a dough. It's purple colour on the metal thingy I said just now and fitted it into my mouth.  And waited for around a few minutes and he took it out. It's to get the model of my teeth.  When he pulled the thing out that time, it feels like my teeth is going to fall off.  The dough-liked thingy was sticking on to my tooth. But, luckily my tooth didn't drop. haha.. That was the for the top part, then he did the same to the bottom part as well but before that, he asked me to rinse my mouth first.  So, I did.

After that, the dentist took asked to take a picture of my face.  One without smiling (natural look) and another one smiling broadly, to see most of my teeth.  This is to make a difference after when I take my braces off in the future. Next, continue back..

Sat on the sit again, the dentist slot something plastic-like thingy into my mouth just to keep my mouth open at all times. He polished my teeth and asked me to rinse again, and the real stuff begins.
Firstly, he "sticks" the metal thingy on my teeth. One by one..
Later after fixing all of the metal thingy on my teeth, he asked me to rinse my mouth again and then I lay back down.  Before that, he asked me to choose the colour I wanted to tie on. I chose purple, but it sort of changed into pink.  Weird.. Maybe because of the stretchiness.
Then, he started to put the wires, the pressure was hard.. When he's tying, I felt like my teeth are gonna drop off.  But thankfully my teeth are healthy and are in a good condition.. If not my tooth will drop off, and that would be scary. @@ ''

After that, walahhh~ I'm done. It feels kinda weird at first.
I can't eat hard stuffs like nuts cause it may cause the string or metal to break. After that, the first challenge of the day, went for dinner, I ate kinda slow.  But it was ok la.. After that, the bottom part of my teeth started to feel a bit pain.

Well, today..
I woke up as usual, felt like normal.  But one thing is, I realised that my bottom teeth are getting more "inside".  But nahh~ Don't wanna bother about it, I hope it's normal.  Then, breakfast.  My mum dapao-ed some noodles and eggs for breakfast.. Hell they looked so tasty!!
But the worst thing is, I tried to eat but.. I couldn't.. When I started to bite, my teeth felt so sensitive and it actually hurts.. I couldn't even chew bihun.  That is so bad news.. T____T

Anyways, I feel kinda hungry at the moment.  I just drank only Milo just now. Yea.. Milo for dinner sad man.  Cause, just now I have tuition.  But my dad they all decided to eat outside. So, never mind.. I had a cup of Milo for dinner.  Hungry~ ><

Haish.. I asked Jonathan whether is it normal to be like this. Well, he said yes. As it would probably last for a week. And he told me that time, he only ate porridge or oatmeals.. for a week.  Definitely can go on a diet edi, but that's so not my style T.T

Haha.. Anways, I must face it though. I'm sure it will be alright after a few more days.
It's only the second day. Fighting!! :D
