It's 11 days to my jaw surgery!! EXCITED! ANXIOUS! AND.......... NTH! ahaahahaha
Okay, back to my teeth, I start to wear braces when I'm sec 3, which is at 2007 and I'm 15 years old back then. Today is 15th dec 2012, I'm 20, and I'm still wearing brace. Which means I wore for 5 years alr. WHAT 5 YEARS! I know you will have the same thought. Yeah, i wore this metal thingy for 5 years :( sad right? Sigh :( what can i do? I don't know is it because i'm under government dental center that's why my treatment is so slow or because of my hidden tooth (I will tell you later about it).
Okay, here goes my teeth history, when I was 15, my dad brought up about adjusting my jaw (oh well, at that young age, i was not troubled by my jaw at all and didn't know that there are ways to adjust it), he brought me to polyclinic and get me referred to the national dental center (NDC). Smart ah, i didn't know all these at all when i'm 15! I'm really glad that I have my dad! I won't start this early or maybe won't even thought of doing jaw surgery without him (though they are now regretting putting me into jaw surgery).
So my braces start immediately after i consult my dentist(my teeth are super straight without brace but sadly, I still have to put on braces to prepare for surgery and my missing tooth, sigh), though my treatment was done immediately, i got fully subsidized! GOOD RIGHT! I DON'T HAVE TO QUEUE 2 YEARS TO GET SUBSIDIZE. Consider again! I got to start my brace immediately with SUBSIDED because i got a hidden tooth inside my lower gum, and the doctor asked me to do brace immediately if not my tooth will rot inside, cool uh? sigh again. Is this a good one or bad? So I start my journey to pull up my hidden tooth out with a minor operation first, to extract my 4 not grown wisdom tooth and put a gold chain on the hidden tooth. For this operation i was put under general anaesthetic (total unconscious), so once i wake up, everything is over. The post operation was kinda bad, I'm super swollen that I look like Wu Ke Qun (a chinese singer) haha. But I don't remember the pain now and I'm guessing that the pain of jaw surgery will be 10X of what I had experienced b4? After the implant of gold chain, I use almost 3 years trying to pull up my stubborn tooth (so long uh?! I guess it was because of the keep changing of my dentist in charge >:( I changed like 3 or 4? can't remember), yet, it didn't come out :( and instead, my teeth went slanted one side, sigh x2. So the dentist, after 3 years of try, then start to think of other alternative way, sigh x3.
I need to go through another minor operation, to expose my hidden tooth and fix a screw on my upper gum to use as a support to pull my teeth instead of using my brace to pull which ended up with my teeth become slanted (okay, i know it's hard to understand what i am writing, I'm not a good writer either, sorry! ><) This operation, was a night mare! BIG SIGH, I was only given an local anaesthetic (gum numbed), so means i'm awake and i can feel the pushing n the drilling of my gum, yes, my gum are numbed, but my brain are still working, I can feel the night mare of what they are doing *sweat*
After all these torture, MY HIDDEN TOOTH ARE FINALLY GROWING!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY! I can't remember when my tooth full grown. But after that, i can finally start to concentrate on adjusting my teeth for my jaw surgery. So that's the end of my painful teeth history, now my teeth are well prepared (I guess) for surgery! Can't wait for 27th December to reach! 5 years of brace, hmm, I WANNA BE BRACE-LESS! but sad to say that i have to wear at least another 6 month of brace after surgery :((
Okay, that's the end of this post, I know it's long and whinny. Hope something here help you guys!
Cheers,
Moon
