Orthodontic braces after 6 months.

Phiew! Finally there's time fer mie to sweep some dust away from ma blog. Finals doneeeee! =DD

Back to the topic, braces. I've been unsatisfied with my gigi since secondary times but i did not have enough courage to do it because i'm worried that i'll look like....

Yes. Ugly betty! 

My mum had been tellin mie that braces hurts a lot, have to eat porridge fer one month, mouth looks bigger with those metal  in my mouth which looks shinny. With the fear of being ugly, i continue to live on with my ugly crooked lookin gigi =/

Years later when i enroll into uni i realize plenty of people around mie is wearin braces and it's still not too late to go fer it! (I thought goin fer braces at the age of 20 is a lil too late but actually it is not) LOL 

So i started to do some research about braces, ask opinions from my girlfriends and of course the most important compare price. So i ended up in Ong Dental Surgery, Ipoh. They are one of the orthodontics specialist in Ipoh. Of course the price over there is not consider low but it's highly recommended by most of the ipoh people so yea.. 

Reasons goin fer braces :

1) Crooked teeth which cause mie to have imbalance lips. 

2) I wanna have a perfect smile fer my weedin picture in the future! XP

[BEFORE BRACES]

Lower right lips ticker =S

Yes i used to have "rabbit" teeth. 

Most of the time i don't show teeth in pictures so i can hide my imbalance lips.

[AFTER BRACES]

First month. 

*taken from previous post*
2nd month.

6th month. can you see can you see? hehehes.

Of course results cannot be seen in first few months. Fer mie it took about 5 months plus to move in the crooked part. (not fully yet) When i just started my braces i had porridge fer almost a weak. I hardly can bite/chew anything. Drink porridge is the best thing i can do. =S Not a bad thing anyway as i can cut down on my calories intake at the same time. Haha. Another good thing about braces is it can change a person's face shape. I used to look so chubby that i can't find my cheekbones but after braces, my cheekbones are more visible! =D

Mie now =)

Fer those who wants to go fer braces you actually can have other alternatives.

1) Clear braces. Made from ceramics and less visible than the typical ones. Of course it is more expensive than the metal braces. (that's why i still have to go fer metal braces) 

2)Lingual braces. Only you yourself and close ones can see it. Others may not =)

3) Lastly, Invisalign! It's not consider very new in Malaysia but i only got to know it after xiaxue introduces it. Unlike the others, invisalign are removable teeth aligners. ( I would definitely do this if i can afford) 

I still have another year to go before i can take off my braces.So yea, still long way to go. But i guess i'll miss   it when it's time to debond. lol. That's all fer now. Cheers*
