First Month Teeth Braces

Middle of October, I went to Klinik Pergigian Emmanuel at Klang and got four teeth extracted. This cost me RM390 and a deposit of RM500. For few weeks, I couldn't eat hard food, only managed to eat porridge and drink healthy oat's drink. Here comes the month of November and I'm really excited to get my teeth braces. This is the first appointment with Dr. Lew Chee Kong the specialist in orthodontic treatment and you can find him at TTDI too. So, on the first visit I need to pay another RM1500. 

Meet Dr. Lew and I was ready to get my separator. My appointment was at 4:30pm but still need to wait half an hour because too many patient have contract with Dr. Lew for teeth braces too. After half and hour, here goes my turn to meet Dr. Lew. He was serious compared to the first time I met him, probably he was too busy to talk and joke. Dr. Lew's skill was fast enough that not more than half an hour, I'm done with my teeth braces. It is to know that Dr. Lew do not use separator and band/ ring for teeth braces because is more pain and easily spoiled your teeth with foods stuck in the band/ ring.

The very next day, one of the brackets was loose on the upper right. I went back to the clinic to get it fixed by general doctor and not Dr. Lew unless, you lost your bracket. Then in the same week, one brackets was loose but this time is on the lower left. Rush to the clinic to get it fixed. the next week, the same lower left bracket was loose again and went to clinic to fixed it again. Gosh! How many times I need to return to the clinic? @_@

After another one week, the same lower left bracket gave me problem again! But this time, I ate curry puff and kuey teow and the most horrible thing is.....I.........swallowed the bracket while I was eating! YES! I SWALLOWED IT! Haha.. Quickly I went back to the clinic and told the nurse what had happened and she told me in 2days, make sure you do your business and see in your poo poo the barcket comes out together or else you need to go for an x-ray. An x-ray?! OMG! 

So, I went back and bought some bananas to eat. First day, I did my business and I don't see any shinning thing on the toilet bowl. At the same night, I did my business again and after I flushed, I didn't really check on it. When it was bedtime, I went to the toilet and saw something shinning on the surface of the toilet bowl. YES! It was the bracket that I've swallowed. Thanks GOD, it came out. 

After two days, I went for appointment with Dr. Lew and told him the whole story and he was laughing at me for my silliness for picking up the brackets and I did say I want to put the bracket back again. Hahahaha.. LOL...He then gave me a new wired braces and brackets without any charges. I've choose light purple this time for lower braces.

So, here's me with the teeth braces on first day. Purple's color for first appointment. 

I was very happy because finally I can have teeth braces. I've always wanted to do this since Form Four. Why I wanted teeth braces so much? Because I've overbite's teeth aka rabbit's teeth. This teeth braces gonna stay with me for around two and a half years, that's way too long man!

My second appointment will be on Christmas's eve. :( Booking were all fully booked. The next appointment maybe I'll go for red color or pink color for CNY's theme. :)
