Remember my bracket fell off one month ago? i havent got it fixed. Its still dangling there... Too difficult for me to go fix la...Timing also not right..unless force to go for appt...

Lucky for u. Last time when i started my treatment, i worked in hartamas. And i can walk into office at 10.30am. So most of the time, i will go in the morning at 9 or 9.30am. Back then so convenient for me also. Now...susah lo...Office very far and long office hour. Start early and finish late...

Actually i'm quite fed up with all the rescheduling. I'm supposed to extract my wisdom tooth tomorrow morning. I've already informed my boss that I'll be taking MC this week. My bf already took half day leave tomorrow to fetch me to the clinic. My mom already took leave to cook for me after the surgery.
Wow..whole team will ready to serve you ...

Hahaha...good one there.

Good to hear that. Have a good rest and speedy recovery!

Wah so nice? After today, tomolo can go shopping edy.

5 days? Why last time Dr How nvr offer me ?

Very well said~

More and more working adults coming on board. So dont be shy about it. The teeth are yours and not ur friends or relatives. They dont understand how u feel when u cant smile widely like the rest of the people. However, if financially allow now, why dont go for it?

We only do it now bcos we were financially tight when we were younger. Now that we're working already, why not? And if u realise, there are more and more ppl opting for perfect smile. So trust me, u will not regret after putting on braces.

Cheers...

My appt is being pushed to today. 2 days ago, the bracket on my last molar fell out when i brush my teeth int he morning.

Now the wire is there... irritates abit.

Dr How is going to be unhappy. All together, i hav 2 loosen brackets.

The last time when i see him with a fallen bracket, he says, "oh...i dont like to hear that".
hahaha...

Added on June 3, 2010, 9:15 amWent to see Dr. How yesterday. I think i was lucky. Waited for about 30mins only then got everything done within 10mins.

Dr.How changed my upper wire, removed powerchain that connects to my screw (at my gum), did some re-positioning and no need to put rubberband on my upper jaw edy.

Whatever at bottom will still remain which included rubberband and wire.

Hahaha...u're a bit too rushing also wor....dun worry. He will tell u one month b4.

So many question ar u...?

i was told 1.5 to 2 yrs also...
Actually i'm very happy with my teeth edy. But still not up to Dr.How's standard.
He still want to do something to give me the perfect smile. But i dun wanna spend anymore money le...
A little bit protruding is fine with me...

I'm prone to ulcer even b4 putting on braces. I was worried at first if i get even more ulcers. But to my surprise, actually i think i got lesser ulcer. I'm not sure about the rest but i guess i'm lucky la.

Added on June 4, 2010, 9:10 amDont worry about missing certain food. As u slowly get use of your braces, u will slowly be able to eat all kinds of food normally. Just way of eating will be different only. For eg: last time u can apple right of the fruits. Now u hav to cut it into small pieces then only put in ur mouth. Simply bcos ur front teeth are not strong enuff to bite food. IF eat KFC also, u cant hold the drumstick and rip off the meat frm there. Now u hav to use fingers or eating utensils to cut the meat off the bone then only put in mouth.

Hope u get the idea. Dont restrict yourself from eating. Cos U can still enjoy food!

Break? How can that be?

Den do u feel tat the wire at the back is getting longer and poking u?

Dont worry. Sometimes its like tat wan. Sometimes too tight also not good la...Dont so impatient la.

Just to share. My pic with inovation C. FYI, i'm in my late 20s.

To avoid attention is my concern when i chose innovation C in the beginning. Regards to brackets falling off and break. I'm on it for 18months already, havent encounter any breakage.

As for bracket falling off. It only happen recently. I assume bcos the glue that doctor use now is not as good? I dunno...Before that, i had it for one year and no cases of falling off. Basically only one brackets will fall off in one month. I'm lazy and will only fix it on my next appt. So far 3 times of bracket fall out case for me. But i know some ppl face this case more.

About your worries on discolouring, i'm not a coffee lover but i have curry food very often. U know how those spices can stain also...But it wont stain ur brackets. It will only stain ur powerchain or rubberbands. We get to change powerchain every month anyway, so i dun bother avoiding curry or sambal... But if u're not on powerchain, basically no worries on that.

For those who are on traditional braces, they hav the rubber bands all over their brackets, that's why they worry alot about discolouring...

Hope that helps...

Good one...
