braces

first of all... BRACES. and it hurt. no lie. i had two teeth pulled in order to get braces on my teeth. these were permanent teeth, not baby teeth. the problem is a small lower jaw and lack of space for the teeth, causing an incorrect bite. when the wisdom teeth try to come in later there is no room, and they get impacted. then they must be dug out.

after the teeth are pulled, there are spaces which are not right in front, so they're not that noticeable. the braces will gradually move the teeth such that the spaces go away.

i get my braces tightened (for almost two years now) the pain isn't very noticeable and goes away pretty quickly. the injections in your gums will be pretty uncomfortable. i do really well at the dentist, i have never been one of those people who get nervous and afraid of the dentist...it doesn't bother me at all, but even for me it was uncomfortable. it will feel like a super hard, long pinch, but luckily the needle is super thin, and the novocaine kicks in pretty quickly so the discomfort doesn't last too long. when i get my braces on, i use some over the counter stuff like Advil or Tylenol to help get me through, and plan on eating stuff like a soft food noodles or mashed potatoes for awhile :) braces are totally worth it, and i can tough it out! take good care of my teeth it is so important in getting a good result from my braces! worth it worth it worth it. ohh and retainers (soon) are only designed to make my teeth stay in the position which they havent been moved. they shouldn't hurt unless i stop wearing them for a while and then put them back in...

if my teeth have moved at all, the retainer will be basically forcing them into the place they were, which will hurt. follow my orthodontist's instructions regarding the retainer and i shouldn't have any problems.

i still have braces. two days ago my teeth was suddenly it really hurts till now!!! it feels swollen too and when i swallow it is more really hurts. dunno why but maybe its from braces or is like a symptom for something!! i must see my dentist ASAP.

and.. i am back to telling what happened to me last week to my canim. got shocked and really believed that i could manage it, it's a big disappoint for this i know. i am still confused too about everything.. *sigh*

:( :(

and i absolutely i cannot wait for the decision's going to answer me. but what ever it is i hope everything will be alright. my mum thought i won't sleep tonight. maybe i am :) i've also become quite excited to meet my BFF and get together again..

that is all.
