Wearing braces

I started wearing braces at the beginning of August. One day, I felt that my teeth looked so crooked and ugly in the mirror. It was shortly after I pulled my last wisdom tooth out. I became really eager to straighten my crooked teeth, so I suddenly decided to wear braces. My mother strongly disagreed with my idea, though. It was because I was supposed to pull out four small molar teeth to do that. She didn't accept the fact that I had to pull four normal molar teeth out. I managed to persuade her in a week and got a permission, so I began to wear braces at last. It was very painful to set the braces around my teeth. I could hardly eat anything at first. After having a meal, it usually takes me more that ten minutes to brush my teeth. You can guess why. I'm getting used to it. It's true that it's very inconvenient to wear braces, though, especially when eating and talking. It's not as painful as before, but pain has started again because I went to see an orthodontist a few hours ago and he tightened the braces more than before. (I go to see an orthodontist every three weeks.) He said it will take about 3 years to finish straightening my teeth when I started wearing braces. It's around July, 2012. I'll look forward to that day.

  1. Wow, three years is a long time. Sometimes I think about getting braces too, but a dentist once told me it would only take about six months for my teeth. Still, I'm not sure if I want to do it.

  2. I don't think you have any problem with your teeth. Yeah, three years sounds too long!

  3. There are a lot of gaps between my teeth, which is a little weird. So sometimes, I think about getting braces to make my teeth closer together.

  4. Oh,really? I didn't notice that. You might as well sleep on it. You know getting braces is pretty demanding.
