Its been awhile since I last blogged about wearing braces. I'm coming close to 7th months of wearing braces and the results are impressive!
Here's a picture to help you visualise.
2nd month wearing braces
Upper teeth: right side, lateral incisor was crooked and stood behind my central incisor
Bottom teeth: right side, lateral incisor also crooked and jutted frontwards
6th month wearing braces
My teeth are so much straighter, especially both the lateral incisors!!!
whoopieeee!
Everytime I look into the mirror and admire my straight teeth I can't help but think that this has been one great investment. (: The first few months was a very painful experience especially during the trip back to the dentist. Everytime my teeth was tightened, it hurt like crazy. But I'm happy to say that as of last month, on my 6th month of wearing braces, the tightening surprised me. I actually walked out of the dentist not feeling in pain at all. I hope this type of pain free experiences will last till my very last visit. Perhaps after the 6th month it becomes more smooth sailing?
And guess what? The dentist said if all goes well, I could well be on my way to taking out my braces in December!! I can't wait for that day!!!
