Yesterday marks the application of the largest wire before I move on to the next phase of braces. Just discovered that the wisdom tooth on my upper right developed itself and is now sitting at the very end without any discomfort. I asked Dr Ho if we could keep it so it seems like it got my extracted tooth replaced so I have a complete set of teeth but he said that I can't because after adjustment the gaps will be used up and there will no longer be any space to keep the wisdom teeth plus it might grow out slanted affecting the adjustment. But anyway the extraction isn't urgent so we will wait for an appropriate time to discuss about it. In addition to the wisdom tooth, the upper front teeth's midline seemed to be more to the left side so he said that we will be doing the midline shifting the next session (but it will be time consuming he said) and also the closing of gaps. My lower set of teeth is a little inside so he will be shifting them forward as well. For now it is all about aligning them neatly with the largest wire and in December the shifting and closing of gaps will begin. It is currently so tight that I have problem chewing because it is relatively painful so I will be sticking to soft diet for now and maybe after a couple of days later when it gets better, I will be resuming my normal diet. So far so good just that it its still painful and there is a lot of food that I don't get to enjoy for now because of the pain but I will get through it! So excited for the next phase!
I will talk to you guys again soon! Meanwhile, study hard/work hard, stay safe and be happy!
