Braces

It has been nearly 3 weeks since I first put braces. In the 1st week, I lost 2kg due to the fact that I am on soft diet, that is porridge. So happy about it. The 1st week was the more challenging one. Abit of uncomfortable, so I put the wax on the area where it irritate the skin. The one day, while I was having lunch, the wire at the back of the teeth came loose poking my flesh because I ate chicken rice. Then that evening I quickly went back to my dentist to get it back in place. It has since been in place. So far so good. Another thing during the 1st week was, the feeling of metal being pulling from the skin when opening the mouth and like all the moisture in the mouth evaporated. 

All these are gone into the 2 week. I am used to it and playing with the braces thereafter, like I am wearing a denture. I can bite abit more harder but still not as good. But I am ok with it. And I can see some of the teeth have moved, moved in line and moved closer to the hole. 

Into the 3 week, today, somehow, I feel a bit tightness of the teeth, maybe they are moving! I just hope the teeth can quickly close up the holes, so that I can eat easier and food would not stuck as much. Yeah! 

To conclude, I only have wax on for the 1st week. And the dryness also on the 1st week. Teeth start to move on the 2nd week.

So much has been done

Over the past 2 months, I have done a couple of things. I traveled to Gold Coast, extracted my teeth for braces, putting on braces, signing up for Korean language lessons, and my helper went home for holidays! Wow, indeed so many. Fruitful months.

So happening. The most rewarding thing is the crystals I bought from Gold Coast, many of them. And one of them even allow me to dream of my beloved grandfather whom left us 20 years ago. For the 1st time, I dreamed of him. I was so so happy. I get to see him again. He still looks the same, just that it was a dream and we did not communicate, and I was staying at his home in Pekan with my family. I only spoke to my aunt on phone in the dream. Good.

The the braces. To fulfill my dream of having straight teeth, thing that I did not complete 30 years ago. Then I just went to register with the Dental Centre and wait 3 years before the letter came to the 1st appointment. But I did not follow up due to various reasons. The comments about putting braces and my family was not well off. 

Until recently, sometime in May, I suddenly decided to proceed, since my daughters have made and 1 has completed. There comments were accepted. I decided to do it. So that I will not have regrets on this matter. And I have to extract 2 teeth and 1 wisdom tooth, at one go, the next day I returned from Gold coast. No pain but the after effect, also not pain just maybe the nerve or something making me a little headache.

Then come the putting braces, the doctor took about 2 hours. Just a little discomfort and cannot bite down the food, there pain is there, otherwise no pain, just discomfort, cannot really smile and closing the lip properly.

Well done to myself!
