I am the awkward type among the confident bunch of people. One of the main reasons why is because I feel conscious whenever I smile. I just don't have the guts to smile with my teeth showing. I have these hideous large front teeth that makes me look like a bunny. (I love bunnies though!) I spoke to my parents about this and I'm glad they supported my decision. Good thing my dad have an acquaintance who happens to be a dentist so I could get a discount. (hurray!)
I was planning to get my teeth fixed on my birthday (August 21) as a special gift for myself but, things happened so I had to postpone this until today. xD
Last week, I had my dad talk to his friend and schedule me for an appointment. I was advised to get dental x-ray done which I immediately accomplished within the week. And today, I finally had my braces placed! It took almost three hours to complete the entire procedure. I was skeptical at first because I've been hearing scary stories about getting braces and how painful it was. The only painful thing for me was the room temperature in the clinic. Lol. Other than that, I didn't feel any discomfort at all. The sad thing though is, I can no longer eat as fast as lightning and enjoy any food I like. *sob*
Here's me with my braces on. Please excuse the exhausted look. Haha. I got mine in Periwinkle~
Now, I just need to prepare my pain killers for the upcoming days. Hopefully, it won't hurt that much. :<
