Yesterday at 4pm....i went to the dentist all jittery and nervous. I was about to get my braces. It was a really cool experience at first. She used this green gooey substance to clean my teeth. A bit of it fell on my tongue and it was the most horrible thing i have ever tasted. It was sour yet bitter all in one. URGH! And then she put this huge plastic thing in my mouth to open my mouth up. Then she used the suction thing to dry up my mouth and then used ultraviolet light. It dried my mouth up so much that my tongue started to hurt! The whole time I just kept hoping that it will be over soon. She stuck the metal brackets on one by one. It took he like about 40 minutes. After that was the fun bit. I got to choose the colour of my braces. I chose blue because that's my favourite colour. Nope, I don't like red, it's kinda to "wild" for me. And pink just reminds me of the panadol syrup i used to get when i had fever in my kiddy days. *shudders* Anyways, the dentist then proceeded by putting the metal wire in between the brackets. Then she put the bands. By the time all this was done, about an hour had passed! The pain did not start until an hour later at home. It was a really gradual process. After about 3 hours only did I really feel the pain. Unfortunately for me, I was at tuition at that time. Fortunately, for my friends, the got a chance to tease me. :P My 's' sound came out as 'sh' and you know the rest. It felt like I had a big bag of cotton in my mouth. I couldn't even close my mouth properly. God! But then the pain was so bad all I wanted to do was sleep! after tuition I had a hot cup of Nesvita and went to sleep. I did wake up a few times coz of the pain. It feels very uncomfortable. I feel like wrenching the whole thing out. I wish I could......*sigh*
