After sooo many years, I have finally decided n pluck up my courage to go for braces ...
And it's all entirely for my dearest boyfie..
Not that he forced me to, which he is now extremely guilty about it.
It's because I still rmbr vividly the first few times we were together, he will keep harping that I should do braces as my teeth is not straight and for health reasons I should go do it .. Hence I promised him I would do it ..
A promise that I did not forget ...

27 June 2011
The very first day I went Q&M nex dental and had my consultation.
The dental was a very nice, not very young lady which had me thinking should I go ahead.. Haahaz
It was kinda like a counseling session as well ..
She would ask me , what do i not like about my teeth... Does my job require me to have straight teeth ...
And how having straight teeth will affectmy job scope .. Etc..
After she cfm that I was determine to have straight teeth, she was still not letting go of the thoughts of me having regrets ..
I did my teeth mould and she told me to go home and consider carefully again.
Damage: 300 SGD plus plus

I was super nervous as really I just have this fear of going to the dentist..
Perhaps, my primary school dentist the lady I would never forget her witch like laughter even till now still rings in my head when I think about her ... The rough and forever screaming at people dentist I had make me more determined that I hate stepping into any dental...
Tooth extraction today..
2 teeth to be gone... The thoughts of it definitely got both my knees weakkkkk ..
Drag myself to the dental.. Still not too late to back out Hannah !! I thought to myself..
Alryte, fuck it. Just do it. If one million other people could have done it, I should too...
So off I go into the chair which I had so much hated to the core...
The smell of the room, the sight of those equipments.
Argh!! What am I doing, I thought to myself again....
The first injection, the to numb me was not as bad as I thought ..
But I wouldn't say the same for the subsequent ones, the pain was like 10 fish bones poking deep in your gum..
You would really feel you wish you hadn't ate any fish..
Slowly, my entire right side was numb...
As soon as the dentist started to pluck my lower tooth, I could feel the pressure. Just pressure, no pain though..
The thought that had me vibrating so bad throughout the entire process and I repeat genuinely vibrating was the rusty sound
Yik yik yik as she tried to shake and pull the teeth out.. My entire jaw felt like it could come out together with my tooth any moment..
Once the lower one was out, I heave a lil sigh of relief , only because I'm glad it was out but there's one more to go..
The jab was even enough cause it hurt while she was trying to pull my upper one out..
I couldn't decide while pulling half way and injecting a second time was more painful or I should just had beared with the pain...
When it was all over, the entire chair that i was sitting on, was literally covered with my sweat...
Not to mention the killing head throbbing n jaw throbbing pain I had after the anesthetic was gone...
Blood kept leaking for two days ... And the soreness I felt...
I really wished that I did nt decide to do braces at all.. But how could I have stop now that I have got two big hole in my mouth !!!
Sighz...
Damage : 170SGD

So not looking forward to today... Extraction on the left side ..
Total of 4 teeth had to be taken outing order to do braces..
Today felt faster maybe cause I have had been through it already..
Hence, I was frightened but rather feeling numb already that I just wanted to get this over and done with..
This time round, teeth did not bleed as much..
And I was elated that no more extraction was needed...
Damage: 170 SGD

Scaling and polishing day !!
And also the day that I found out I had to do 7 fillings -.-
Lack of time, so scheduled to the next day..
Damage : 150SGD plus

Happy so not happy monthsary to me. :(
Just when I thought that no more pain but stiill had to go through pain today ..
Today took about two hours and I seriously was only conscious of two fillings being done ..
When and where the other 5 was being done, I seriously had no idea ..
And when the bill came I nearly had a heart attack.
That was when they informed they count it per surface and not per tooth irregardless of how big or small it is...
There u go, there is a reason why it is called a private clinic...
I had my entire jaw numb as well, as half way through, I really couldn't take the pain. The drilling was too near my nerves ...
Once today was over, I was really overjoyed !!!!!! Finally no more pain and braces coming soon....
Damage: 500SGD plus

1000 plus spent already before the actual braces was even fixed on..
I had to say my heart was very pain.. Haahaz..
And so many people tel me want prett must sacrifice and cannot complain.
But it's only all because of my dearest boyfie that I'm wasting money and enduring pain... Sob sob..
Okay this is a very long post already, wanted to upload photos but it's hard to do it via iPad..
Next post I shall blog about the actual braces..
