Braces On

Thats right!! I have already put on braces. I have waited pretty long for it. Finally the day came. I put on my braces a week ago. Yeah, 7 days with that tissue destroyer. The brackets have rub and cause ulcers in my mouth so i call it the tissue destroyer. But i have no choice, gotta endure it man. Another 2 years with the tissue destroyer. It hurts a lot cause it will keep touching my ulcer. Boo-hoo...

First thing i worried about when i put on the braces is that my teeth will become sore as they starts to move. Thankfully, my dentist didn't made it very tight, so i could endure and get use to the braces. However, the next visit will most probably cause me tons of pain. Think i gotta get a giant soft toy so i can hug and scream at it whenever i am in pain.

I met Alysa at NDC (National Dental Centre) last week, and she had a 1 year plus experience with braces, so she told me the first 3 days for her was horrible and she couldn't eat due to the pain. For me, its about the same, when i chew on food, it hurts. Now, its ok, i can eat anything. Alysa also told me that i am lucky i am not a girl cause if a girl is on her period, and she just tighten her braces... Yeah, you can imagine the pain.

Second thing i worried about is brushing. Its really tough to brush your teeth with the brackets obstructing. You have to get a cute tiny brush to clean between the wires. Overall, it takes about 10 minutes just for me to brush my teeth. How long do you guys normally brush your teeth?? Did it even reach 5 minutes. I know you want to finish brushing before the TV advertisement end so you won't miss your TV show, but oral health is more important than the show.

Oh ya, for my braces, i face the dilemma of whether i should choose lime or pink for my brackets. Well, you see i have a dark skin tone, so i gotta choose a bright striking colour. In the end, i chose to go for lime. When i told my dentist i want lime, the assistant dentist was like "Wahh first day choose lime already!!". She also said that lime is a great colour and it would be very bright when i smile.

Anyways, for everyone without braces, you gotta appreciate having great teeth. Cause braces is a pain in the ass. Food get stuck and everything, its really troublesome. It might seem fun and cool to have braces but i believe everyone who had braces on would beg to differ. -End of Blog-
