The 1st 36hrs... after putting on wired braces

Went rather well, if u ask me.

Other than the perpetual discomfort of hving metal brackets n wires in my mouth 24/7, the achy feeling in the teeth, the horrible feelings of hving food stuck in between the teeth, in between the wires, in between the teeth n wire, the need to rinse, brush and floss more often ( i average 3 brushings, 2 mouth-rinsing, 1 flossing per day), there's really nothing to it.


Ya, right! Who am i kidding?

Ai swee bo bian...


I m still counting down the days...


Gan-ba-teh!


The current tag-line for me these days is "Get used to it." Aptly said so, by my orthodontist when I went to see him last Friday as the wire-end kept poking the side of my mouth, causing it to bleed slightly. I told him to turn the wire inwards so that it's pointing towards my tooth. He said the wire is already vv short but he'd try. But his parting words to me was "After a few days, the skin will harden n you will GET USED TO IT."

Huhhuh!
