Braces ON !

Sorry for the selfie, I should have taken better picture than this

People keep questioning me why would I wear braces? As you all know that I'm under RA treatment before. But yeah me myself don't know why either. But the specialist has told me to wear braces anyway other than RA (maybe I'm simply not ready). There was one time on Friday, without thinking twice I made a step into Orthodontics department in my faculty to meet postgraduate student and booked for an appointment. Not longer than that, the Dr called me to attend and met her for first procedure. Taking impressions, pictures of my face structure *not sure if i'm using the right words, and the most painful part WAS she put a separator in between of my premolar upper and lower teeth. It killing me like @$$Y%&Y(*^ urghh so sakit. I couldn't have a proper meal for 2 weeks I guess. (but the best part is I can control my diet)

I got a text for the Dr saying about the second appointment! Gosh I was freaking HAAPPYY!! of course she's going to take off the separator out of my mouth, couldn't take it any longer I told ya. Anddddd I thought its going to over but then I'm totally wrong. She put on a MOLAR BAND (something to retain my gigi geraham from moving) replacing the separator. The molar band aren't giving any pain or something but it has this site which sharp that it tears my cheeks 'BOTH SIDES' and it turned into ulcers. Can you imagine the torments??

Okayy that's not the only torment, there are a lot! Next, the Dr gave me a referral letter to extract my teeth which includes 2 from the upper and 2 from the lower tooth (total of 4). Omaigad, another challenge experience I've to face before I do it to my patients next semester (year 3). 8 to 10 shots of LA (local anesthesia) to numb the muscles and let the sense of pain go away. Its ain't easy man. The funny part was I asked my senior to put a topical anesthesia (ubat kebas sapu) before the LA *cannot tahan takut. but then it doesn't numb anyway cause I can still feels the shots anyway and tahan until tears drained. DANG two teeth GONE ! on the first week. I was living my life toothless like 3 weeks before another 2 extractions (sokay I looked cute liddat). hahaha

Done with extractions, coming with the third appointment which is today BRACES ON DAY!!
I'm not excited AT ALL !!! Trust me. I'm afraid of the fact that I'm going to have a lot of ulcers coming through. Ohh nooo not funneh okayy!
So the Dr gave me 2 small box of wax just in case for me to put it at the brackets. so yeah I slept with it and woke up feeling bulky inside my mouth. maybe I didn't get used to it yet. Sooooon I will.
The pain? yesss ADA.

I guess another at least 2 weeks of diet won't hurt?


Ignore my after class face

p/s : pray for my upcoming denture design competency this Thursday!
