Omg... These few days these two things are just killing me.... I know whole lot of you would be thinking...
"I thought seperators comes before braces?"
My answer is not exactly... if your extraction and your braces fixing day is about a week or so.... Your seperator will come after you fit on braces... (Prove me if I'm wrong... Cos that's what I've been told by my ortho...)
Now I tell you what.... braces torturing... but seperators even worse!!!! (for me).. it took me quite some time to get used to as when you bite you will feel this bouncing feeling on your jaw (no joke!) and slowly your jaw will feel "sour" as they are slowly pushing your tooth to form a gap in between the 2 tooth.... as a result.... 2 days of unable to eat :( But am happy to slightly loss some fats out of my diet.... as couldnt eat solid food... argh~~~
Now some of you who never experience braces may exclaimed: "For what create gap? thought they are supposed to fix your teeth not create gaps?" right? It is to fit the "Ring" (some people call it metal band) onto your Molar tooth (4 of it) so it can pull your teeth from the front to the back...
Then I was supposed to fit this Metal band on 4 of my molars.... And trust me... I was abit scared when the ortho try to fit this stupid ring on my tooth as he was using strength to do it!!! I was soooo afraid that my gum/tooth's gonna be damaged by his force.... Now my 4 molar tooth look as though it is "semi-crowned" with silver... haha... no joke! my teeth did not feel any discomfort as compared to the first braces fixing as well as my separators.... as least can eat la... haha okie... looking forward to my next appointment.... I heard he need to change wire for me... hopefully I'll be alright... Take care guys!!
