Stages
I know it has been such a long time since I updated My Braces Diary. Actually I have been updating, just that I didn't publish out. Lol. Sorry for the delay if anyone is interested in My Braces Diary :P Time really flies. I am already wearing for them for one year. And so far, I am still very happy with my braces on.
August 2011.
Dr Lew wanted me to wear Rubber Band. Honestly speaking, rubber bands are not painful at all. BUT! It is very tedious. According to him, I have to wear all the time unless I'm eating. Only that time, I am being excused to take it down. It is really "mafan" to put it on seriously. I did put it on for a few weeks, then I am so lazy to put it on. Only put it on when I'm sleeping. LOL. But it is definitely a bad example =\

Back to Dr Lew Clinic. And he changed both my upper and lower to transparent wire instead. Woohoo! Nothing much had done, just that he had tighten them. It always hurt so much :(

March 2012
Dr Lew changed the lower wire into a metal wire. It did not really do much different cause when i talk or smile, people won't really notice the lower part anyway. Lol.

It seems that my teeth is moving rather slowly. Not sure if it is because I seldom wear my rubber bands. haha! Dr Lew wanted to add a band right behind of my teeth.

June 2012
Congratulation to me! My latest visit, Dr Lew that IF everything progress smoothly. I might be able to take out my braces before Christmas! Hopefully it will be my best Christmas Gift ever! And because of his word, I am now diligently wearing my rubber bands. And for the past few months, I have been wearing double layer. Meaning I wore 2 rubber bands each. I feel the pulling impact. Perhaps it will be faster? That's my own thinking. Not sure if it really did any help. But it did hurt, so I guess it is moving lah. :P
At the same time, because it was my last stage. Dr Lew did an X-Ray of my teeth. (Additional Cost) It does show that it has gone back. Too bad, I didn't manage to take the picture down. After doing an X-Ray for us, Dr Lew actually double the band ring (Additional Cost). Meaning, he actually insert another band ring to pull it back even faster and tighter. Yeap, it hurt so much when I bite things again! Feeling so weak but at the same time, I made myself think that the more the teeth hurt, the more they move and the faster it can end. Am I right? Alright, self-motivation :P
Beside inserting additional band ring, he actually changed my transparent wire to a thicker wire instead. Thicker Wire = Double Pain! Gosh! This time round, it took me almost 3 days to get over the pain. Phew! I am still able to eat, but just that biting will cost a lot of suan-ness

Counting down to Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!
