The braces that i'm wearing is the self-ligating type, which is the latest breakthrough on orthodontics. The self-ligating braces are in combination with high technology wires, smaller in size & apply to the teeth with much more gentle force, which results in shorter treatment time & far fewer adjustments.
I'm feel so lucky that i can actually wear this braces performed by our orthodontist, Dr Asma in our faculty. Dr Asma put the brackets on my teeth one by one gently & all the procedures are finished in about 45 minutes.
While Dr Asma putting the brackets i'm actually viewing the whole procedures with a mirror in my hand. I can say that bonding is much more "relax" than teeth extraction, with only slight pressure putting on your teeth.
But i starting to worry because my friends who are still wearing the braces or wore the braces before told me that after a few hours or maybe at night you'll be in great pain until you wake up from your dream! Hope my pain receptors are not as profuse or sensitive as theirs.
Another thing is start from that moment i can only "drink" porridge & some cereal drinks or hot milo. Eating on solid food make my teeth feel very uncomfortable & uneasy. So actually yesterday night before i went for bonding i ate a lot, seems like it was my last dinner. Haha!
