10 years ago I went to different dentists to consult about getting braces. At that time I was so scared of getting my teeth pulled out for the preparation of braces so I didn't go ahead with the procedure.
It has been a long time since I started to visit dentists again. All these times I still don't like to visit a dental surgery. Other than getting my teeth cleaned every 6 months I rarely like to visit my dentist.
There are suggestions from family and friends that I should get braces because as I get older my teeth is pushing forward. And it's true whenever I look at the photos all I see are my teeth.
I have been visiting a few dentists to get consultation about getting braces at this age. We have to go through examination, X-rays and then pulling out certain teeth for space before getting braces on.
Last Friday, I got 2 of my teeth pulled out. It was bleeding until the next morning. I could not eat much except congee for the whole weekend. Since my body is so used to rice, without it for a few days my body was so weak and I needed a lot of sleep.
Even now, I could not chew rice at all because it took so long to finish my food and it was so uncomfortable. Only at this stage I could not eat much at all, I wonder how when I get my braces on - this coming Friday, how can I survive for the next 1 and 1/2 years. People said I will definitely lose weight. I'm a food lover I think this is the worst punishment ever.
Oh well, you have to sacrifice something to look pretty after all.
