So I had my first braces tightening today...OUCH! I was legit in tears. I wasn't crying but the pain was like unbearable that my eyes could not stop tearing up. They put a stronger coil spring on my bottom lower teeth-that was a bitch and half. On my top teeth it wasn't too bad. They put a new wire in and then like put this other coil spring to make space for this molar that is obviously not in place and they like wound up a bunch of wires to make this tooth turn inwards because it's like sideways ish. I mean it hurt like hell but the bottom teeth like I said was the worst. I look at my teeth and my top ones look slightly better but my bottom teeth honestly look more crooked. Dr.Chang what the fuck are you doing? I swear I feel like things have to get worse before they get better. Ugh. Oh and I forgot to mention not only did it hurt getting them tightened my entire mouth is in pain. It feels like it did when I got my braces on...quite possibly worse than that actually!
I'll take a picture of my teeth tomorrow.
Next appointment October 25th.
So does that mean a year and 11 months until I get these train tracks out of my mouth and 5 more months until I get my expander out?!?!
I sure hope so.
Time to pop an advil and pass out.
Bye for now :(
Emily
