Right before my appointment I got the package from klobird, it was a perfect timing. To keep the nervousness at bay while waiting in the waiting room for him to finish the pt before me I started to open it and it was a very good way to keep my mind busy. Thank you klobird, I love it! It’s my fav. colour too!
Putting the rest of the brackets on was not a problem. He explained everything he did and what tooth he was “working on”. We took a few mins break when he was finish putting them on, so I could sit up and watch myself in the mirror with the brackets on. They did not feel as strange in my mouth as those in the back did, not as big or pointy.
When it was time to put on the wire I think I did something with my face because he quickly said that we did not need to put this on today, that if I wanted to I could wait a few days. Just have the new brackets on and get use to the feeling before he put the wire in (wow, he really are putting time in this!
).
I did consider it but I ha mentally prepared myself for this today. And how many visit have I had?
1: consultation, x-rays and a look at my teeth. 2. Impressions. 3. Going through the treatment plan 4. Going through the treatment plan once more because I freaked out last time. 5. Supposed to put the brackets on and take pictures, we ended with just pictures. 6. Brackets on the back teeth. and 7. Braces.
7 visits, not bad! It had been 8 visits if I had chosen to not take the wire on. He has been so great and I knew that I would be in good hands so I told him that we could put it on today, I was ready.
So we put the wire on and for a while there I thought that I could feel it tighten more and more as he closed the doors carefully but I think it was a bit psychological when I was laying there because when he was finished I could not feel it at all. It did not feel as strange as I thought it would be.
Did not need the spring, he could put the wire on the canine. It would be normal to put the wire on the tooth beside the canine too but because it was a bit twisted towards the canine he would not do it today because that would give me a bit more pressure on that side, he wanted to give me as little discomfort as possible in the start.
I had to give him a hug when we were finish! He has done so much to help me and to make this as easy as possible for me. Did not believe that this would be possible at all! He kept telling me how good pt I had been today and how much he hoped that I would not feel any pain. I deserved a soda and some candy for this super good work (
) so I went straight to the store to get a soda and a huge chocolate (how often does a dentist give you permission to eat candy and drink soda?
)
He wanted to see me in two weeks to see how things are going and to take a look on the wire. It tends to wander a bit in the beginning and because of the canine it might wander a bit extra.
So far so good! No lisping, and are eating like I usually do. No pain yet and I hope it won’t come later
So i did it! I got braces!
lol ). Can hardly feel my brackets any more but it will still be strange to get more brackets in my mouth.
