| | Yeah, the day has finally come when I got my braces done.
well, the day came like 2 days ago actually but i've just been procrastinating on my blogging, 'tis all. lol.
Anyway, yeah, on Tuesday, right after my classes, I went home, ate a quick brunch, brushed my teeth and headed to the orthodontist!
They scaled my teeth (first time i got my teeth scaled. It was really ticklish!), made me wear this weird plastic contraption that pushed my lips wide apart,
glued on all the brackets and placed the metal wires along the brackets and took pictures of my teeth.
sounds simple?
its not.
i think it took them an hour to glue all the brackets because it takes forever for the glue/composite thing to dry,
they used the sucker in my mouth and i'm lying down horizontally, so i gagged a few times too. i hate gagging. bah.
but all in all, it didnt hurt... much. the only part that hurt was when the put em metal ring things around my back teeth to keep the wire in place.
ouchh.
but after all that was done, i bought all the necessary special-toothbrush-for-braces, floss, wax and whatnot, and went to buy some campbell soup and bananas, because thats all i can eat right now.
later that night, thats when the pain started to come. like.. OUCH. i ate nothing but porridge and cut up bananas.
i spent about half an hour++ brushing, flossing, mouth-washing and stuff.
omg, it takes FOREVER to floss man, since i have to put the floss under the metal wire braces thing, that requires this plastic hoop thingie ma jiggie. omg it takes FOREVER.
AND FLOSSING HURTS LIKE A MAD COW WITH BRACES ON.
so...
flossing pain (enhanced by the braces) + already-there braces pain = SUPER FRIGGIN PAIN LIKE A MAD COW BITCH.
its been 2 days now, and it still hurts.
I can feel my bottom teeth throbbing now, which is sorta ironic since i wanted to wear braces because of my top teeth only.
so my top teeth should be hurting! not the bottom. but meh.
I also talk with a lisp now.
Yeah.
I'm this braces wearing lisp talking lady. How attractive.
And I cant even close my jaw properly, i look like a retard when i smile, and wait, I CANT EVEN SMILE with my mouth closed la.
Seriously, I'm like the most attractive person on earth right now.
.... pain :(
I miss solid food so much right now.
I miss spicy food like mad too.
though I still can eat spicy food, its not like there's such a thing as spicy bananas or spicy porridge or spicy campbell soup right. :(
aku emo nemo la.
BUT NVM. Lately I keep telling myself, NO PAIN NO GAIN. I should probably write that down on my forehead or something, since lately I've been feeling super vain, looking at the mirror to check my braces and whatnot.
le sighz.
NO PAIN NO GAIN, DEBBIE;
NO PAIN NO GAIN.
