This morning was my 5th adjustment.... time really pass very fast... it's already been 4 months 2 weeks and 1 days since my braces were put on.... i had a ticker on my facebook page and it's really very helpful to keep track of time...
My honeymoon days are over.... I had my bottom row fully fixed with powerchain ... partially on top.. the top part is actually quite sharp... i cut my tongue a few times while gliding it over the chain... and yea i need to put back on the elastic rubber bands again... sigh... so sian..... teeth now very achy... due to the tightening... and i just put on one rubber band few mins ago.... even more achy....
Rubber bands can really curb my appetite... once it is on... i lost all appetite to eat.... even though i am so hungry now... regret waking up late this morning... didnt treat myself to a good meal before suffering...
Ytd rick and lijie had dinner with us... we have fishhead steamboat.... initially the plan was fishhead curry... sigh.. i was so looking forward to staining my ligatures before getting them changed today... anyway, i must endure it for another month...
Looking on the bright side.... i kinda like playing with the rubber band in my mouth... is like a string instrument... haha... coz there is tension on the rubber band so i will use my tongue to flick it to make annoying sounds... there is once i was stuck in a long queue at NTUC.. and unknowingly, i began flicking the rubberband... the angmoh infront of me was actually quite pissed... lol.. but I'm glad i amuse her too... lol..
That's it for now..... wish me luck..
Wooh.. how time flies... it's been like 3 months since everything started... wow...
I just went for my 4th adjustment yesterday... thank god, the suffering I've been thru the last 1 month paid off...i had elastics on during my 3rd adjustment... not only i looked ridiculous... i speak ridiculously too.. it was pretty painful at first but after few days, got used to the pain.. the remainig 3 weeks was just troublesome.. have to take out the rubber band before i eat.. and put it back after that... i like to brush my teeth before putting them back.. but sometimes have to rush for class.. i cant brush my teeth.. so sometimes can be very frustrating... anyway, glad it's over for now.. Dr Cheng said may have to wear again... depends... at least i get to relax this time..
Dr Cheng also said that my progress was great... i got the symmetry back...my front teeth in the past were not in the centre.. they tend to be more to the left side... now they are back to the centre... nice and my left canine is so neatly in place...it used to the worstly aligned teeth i had.. primary reason why i dun smile so much... but it's so nicely in place now.. have to give myself a pat on the shoulder... a lot of hardwork..
I guess there wont be much progress this session.. only a slight tightening yesterday..abit sore but i can eat per normal the same night... no pain.. brushing is so much easier without the elastics... i can brush longer and make sure my teeth are nice and clean..
Looking forward to my next adjustment... :)
