Since I really wanted to keep an eye on the progress, I decided to place a diary in this blog, in case some of my dear friends wanted to see what can a ceramic braces do for our teeth.
It is still too early to say anything, since it has only been installed on my teeth for a couple of days. All I can say now is how sore my teeth are, and some regrets on why I even put my self into this misery. It is hard to eat, hard to talk, since there is a new object in front of my teeth. But thinking positive, I will need to get through this so I can avoid bigger problems with my teeth in the future.
The braces story began when a good friend with a very high quality camera took this picture:
Notice my teeth? It was not usually like this. But the alignment of my teeth some how moved as I aged and the position of my two upper front teeth have gotten worst. A few days after my friend took this picture, as if there was invisible hands lead me to visit the dentist and pushed me to make an impulse decision on getting braces on the spot, without consulting anyone.
So for now, I will just place some not-so-nice picture of my new set of ceramic braces so we can compare them from month to month.
The procedures that I took was:
- day 1 (Friday, 5 November 2010) - dentist pulled out my one last baby tooth (that never came off since I was little), leaving an empty space on my very front bottom row teeth and placed 4 rings on the back teeth.
(No turning back now!)
- day 2 (Monday, 8 November 2010) - installing the ceramic braces
- day 3 (Tuesday, 9 November 2010) - back to the dentist because one of the ring was hurting my right tongue)
- day 4 (Wednesday, 10 November 2010) - back to the dentist because 3 of my front right braces's glue came off so the wire went up and down my teeth hahahahahahhahaha *oh dear....*
