Having a Good Smile
Before you spend the time and money to straighten your teeth, get at least two opinions, if possible, as a "sanity check." Orthodontists can vary in their treatment approach. If you don't like what one ortho says, get more opinions until you reach a consensus of opinion -- especially if extractions or jaw surgery may be involved. Consultations are usually free.
In my case, at first the ortho wanted to remove 4 of my molars. 2 above and another 2 below. After having a long discussion with him we had reached a consensus not to do the extraction and see first after 3 - 4 months of the treatment. If the teeth really need the space then the extraction will take place. For me that's fair enough.
Right after he put the braces on my teeth, actually i didnt feel any pain at all. I just feel abit uncomfortable like wearing a mouth guard. The ortho also fixed somethning on my teeth so that if i chew my upper teeth wont hit the lower braces. Hey I thought this is not so bad at all.
After few hours then it started... It's fucking painful as the teeth started to move! And when i want to eat i cant chew because of the stupid thing the dentist put on my teeth. Now i know why people wearing it loss alot of weight.
Now after two days, the pain has lessen. I didn't eat that much for the past two days. During lunch hour, i could'nt care less and ordered a shish kebab. Sakit or not...don't care just eat! So this will continue for another two years. Such a long time to go....
