piCtuRes AgAiN

 Around september and october of last year..


my lower teeth.. which is aligned properly already.. sorry for the picture quality.

Ugly duckling stage

This is what my orthodontist told me, she said now I have to bare with the horrible look..
I have difficulties in putting my lips together. I have to strain my muscles to close my lips. 
And I feel hard to control my mouth also. Sometimes if I don't take care, saliva will flow out, or if I am eating, food will come out.. ( terrible and embarrassing scene)
Speaking is also become a challenging task for me, some words I couldn't pronounce properly. Sigh, pronouncing is already so difficult for me and I have to do it for so many times for people to catch my words.. 

current phase of my treatment

Well.. I haven't update this blog for such a long time.. So my treatment has advanced further than what I have written here.
First, the orthodontic treatment for my lower teeth has done. Every tooth has nicely settle in their own place.
Second, now my orthodontic treatment is focusing on closing the gap between my premolar and molar, and also the front teeth protrusion.
Now I have to visit my orthodontist every month and closing gap is quite a painful procedure as the doctor will put wires and elastic band to pull the teeth together. So I have to be on soft diet after the treatment.
