I personally think the price is acceptable. I dunno wat the rest think.
Thanks, I don't feel cheated then because I have made an appointment before actually searching around the prices in the thread

I am getting my braces next Tuesday. Can I know whether I am able to return to work the next day? Or should I take leave? How do you eat at work since not everywhere sells porridge?

How long does it usually take for the gaps to close? have extracted two teeths on the upper part and thinking how long would it take before it closes

My wire was initially the same length as the last bracket, but now it is longer than the last bracket already. When I touch the end of the wire that poked out, it seems less sturdy than the other parts of the wires which wouldn't move a millimeter at all even when you touch it with great pressure. Means it kind of move like 1 mm when I touch it, like not as stable as the other parts of the wire. Is it normal or this means my teeth is showing progress? Because it is only four days, I don't think show progress shown so fast right?

The brackets aren't loose at all, still stick very hard, so it is fine right?

He didn't put any stopper for me. Ha, then should I go and consult him?

Thanks so much, it is such a hassle to take leave and see the doctor again. Thanks.

I am so demotivated and feel like giving up already although it is only 5 days. It was worse than what I thought. I mean there's not much pain for me. Eating is still OK, I don't usually enjoy eating(I diet all the time haha) so cannot eat nice food is still OK. It is just that I could not bear with the excessive teasings of me. My sister was always telling how ugly I am and when I talked I seemed to be talking with my lips pouted. My sister is seriously inconsiderate and insensitive. I can just say, there are lots of negative comments from her. She wasn't intending to hurt me, but it is just her character. My friends were saying I am too old for braces and my bf doesn't find me attractive anymore now(not to brag here, but I used to be having quite perfect features to be called beautiful except for the ugly set of rabbit deep bite teeth). It is going to be Chinese New Year soon, and my relatives are very sarcastic. I don't feel like going back to hometown due to this reason. How pathetic. I feel so regret now. Only my younger sister and my mum are very supportive, my younger sister always tell me I am going to be really pretty for the rest of my life by only suffering for two years and my mum thinks about creative ways to cook for me everyday.

I seriously need some support now.

Thanks for all the encouragement That Tom Cruise information is really motivating

i seriously don't mind my gummy smile, i dont need a perfect set of teeth, i just want that i no longer have deep bite. is it ok if i dun put the screws since i have very limited budget? i feel like i would be recommended to get the screws too by reading all the posts here
