SAY WHAAAAAAT?
Yeap, I got my braces removed! Finally, am i right?!
Okay I got to chill. After I exit my dental clinic, I just can't stop smiling. And when I'm at the mall, about to take the bus home, I still can't stop smiling, and hence, leaving to everyone looking at me like wow she's weird.
Back to the procedure, it's all good. When I sat on the chair, the dentist ask, 'rebonding alright?' I don't know whether it's a question or a statement for me to double confirm, but nevertheless, I have no idea what's REBONDING is. So I arch an eyebrow and just said yes anyways. They then said, 'braces removal' and I understood. Hey, I don't know any dentist language okay.
I began lying down the chair as it syncline, and the dentist almost immediately gave me some sort of sunglasses and asked me to wear it, ah, that let me remembered 2 years ago, when I put on my brand new metals, I wore that too. So I'm all ready for it to be removed! (NOT specifically 2 years, but 21 months!) I thought my dentist would be taking out slowly, but it's so fast, like about 2 minutes for the whole process?! YEA I KNOW RIGHT. My dentist just used a tool and 'pluck' out the braces, I feel nothing, just a little pressure taking the glued metals off. And, I'm already smiling. I need to control.
So after taking it all out, my dentist sort of cleaned the glue or anything off? Because it's all spraying of water on my teeth and I heard scraping off kind of sound. So I just closed my eyes and wait for it to end. But suddenly, after all that, the feeling of something 'poking' my gums is back, and that I knew, he's cleaning the plaque off my edges of my teeth. It's not literally poking, but the feelings like poking off the dirt and such I dont know I can't see what's going on inside my mouth! After that, they inserted a 'blue tack' kind of squishy stuff that smelled like mint on both my upper and lower teeth, just like my 21 months ago, when my teeth are still all crooked and before the 4 extractions of teeth.
And when it's all done, I was told to wash my mouth with plain water and ta da! All done! My dentist then told me on the next 2 days, I must be back to take my retainers, which is free! And I was given a small mirror to see myself, and literally when I saw myself, my whole lips are filled with left out 'glue'. I cleaned them all off and when I smile, wow, my teeth felt so smooth!
What a fruitful 21 months of metals in my mouth. :)
