Orthodontic road is long, start wearing braces today…

2023.3.26 The weather forecast shows rain today, and it began to clear up when I went out. Think of a few days of pain after wearing braces, early about a bestie to a hot pot. Finally, I chose the river snail noodle hot pot (I brought mouthwash and dental flusher in case it would be too embarrassing).

14:30 The dentist came and guessed what I ate

After eating mouthwash mouth is no taste, did not expect a smell on the body, just lying on the chair, the dentist’s little sister said it is not just finished eating, I guess what you ate, a guess. Ah, I’m so embarrassed…

But the doctor praised me that I usually clean very well and have no dental stones, there is no bleeding during the dental cleaning process, and there is no sour feeling after washing

15:00-17:30 It took 2.5 hours to glue the braces

First, the treatment before gluing braces, the assistant doctor first did a comprehensive cleaning, sprayed some sour medicine and then waited for the attending doctor to glue braces. During the process of gluing braces, there were some patients who returned to the doctor or saw the plan. The whole process was relatively long, but fortunately, the assistant ladies in the department were chatting all the time, which was also very interesting.

The process is: cleaning ~ gluing braces ~ steel wire ~ look at the occlusal pad height

Sense of ritual

The assistant sister also sent me flowers, took a picture with my doctor, and the ceremony was full. Also send some toothpaste toothbrush protection wax, are the future daily use of good objects

Now for the past 2 hours, I’m getting along well with my braces and have no discomfort so far (it doesn’t seem to be as scary as I expected).
