ok let me put the chronology of wearing the braces from day one.
first i got my teeth scaled and filled.
u know, dia buang all the hitam2 part on ur teeth
and tampal kalo2 ada lubang kat gigi.
then two teeth from the upper jaw got pulled out.
that took 3-4 hrs to stop bleeding
and a whole week to fully recover.
then dentist put 'getah' kat celah2 gigi blakang at each ends
to push them a bit and make some space
for the braces to fit in between.
this one took a week for the gap to appear.
bila ada space, the 'getah' was taken out
and this is when the braces came in.
the process took almost 1hr 30min,
and i got the colour grey for it.
since then, it's all about ketatkan gigi and changing new getah in every appointment.
the getah started off with the colour grey. tak pilih pun colour ni, tau2 je da ada kat gigi. layan je~
then i chose pink (nak baby pink sbnrnya for raya - turned out bright pink. dush!!)
then i asked for blue.
now she had a transparent getah on my teeth. making my braces look like diamonds. not literally, but cantik. i like this one better.
oh, 'she' there is my dentist. we all call her Dr Siti. hehe
---- i've been worried sick about wearing braces actually. worried that it would take a longggg time to straighten the teeth. worried that i would look hideous with it. on top of that, i don't really want to change the structure of my teeth. i just don't feel like changing it. lagi2 when ppl say braces needs commitment when maintaining it. takutttt~
guess what?
i don't mind at all - about all the ridiculous things i've been worrying before.
sbb i get to play with colours :)
