5th Adjustment (Edited)

This is the weirdest adjustment I ever will encounter.. Why? Haha I'm given something call cushion.. Which is some sort of clay/ceramic again that will lift my jaw up so that my back-up teeth could move to the front!!!

Now I can forget about eating all my cravings in Hong Kong! But I didn't wish to wait any longer for my teeth to be perfect because Doc says base on my progress.. My treatment can be complete in a year.. Which means by this year 2011!!

That is the only thing I'm super looking forward to.. So.. This round I was given cushion, bottom row gonna move back to close all gaps.. And upper backup teeth is to move to the front..

Shall go home and take some pictures and upload it separately..

Great movement!!! Thats what Dr said... He even had plans of bonding my 'backup' teeth and start moving in to the front.. But he said it will be really tough for me and it's festive season, he don't wanna torture me...

Therefore, you will find an ultimate long powerchain on my top row of teeth cos Dr wanna create more space for the back teeth.. And the most irritating part of that back teeth is what?? I won't be able to close my mouth entirely until it has successfully cross over.. Gosh!!

However, that wouldn't happened till next adjustment.. Lol

Alright, it's getting late and I'm gonna crash Becky! Night

3.5 adjustment?

Well, this should have been written last week but I was simply too busy celebrating New Year!! Lol

Anyway, after having springs for about 10 days.. Doctor decided to remove it since it has given him enough space...

Why did I go back in the first place?? It was all because of the metal ring!!! It got loose and cut into my gum when I chew my food on the right side.. So I though of heading back for a quick fix...

But who knows?? It went so well.. That doc decided to remove the springs, put on powerchain to close up the extracted tooth gap.. Of cause its to make even more space later to move that tooth from the back... Excited!!!

And it was super amazing when doc said I'm only on Becky for 4 months and my progress has been really good!! Does that mean there will be a higher chance that I can complete my treatment in less then a year???

Can't wait for my perfect smile!!! :)

3rd Adjustment

I skipped my adjustment for two months~ This allowed my jaw to have lots of rest so that I can eat, chew and yawn properly.

Right this moment, I seriously feel that my mouth and teeth together they are being pull right apart!!!

And Dr Lim places two super obvious springs to enhance the space so that the wonder "backup" teeth can start moving to the front... I have popped a Nurofen 15 mins ago and it doesn't seems to be working.. Gosh~ This time, he also used my best friend aka Powerchain to close the gap of my lower front teeth (after what powerchain caused to my jaw, I still have to bear with it)

Jaw not pain...

Alright... Haven't been updating becky's blog.. But that's because I was told to skip one appointment to rest my jaw...

Indeed, it seems like the problem is due to the powerchain.. And without it.. I have been eating a lot more then the initial three months...

Becky is not giving me any problem... But I'm going for my appointment this thur which I'm not sure if my jaw had rested enough... Am I ready to have the powerchain on again?? :( I just got back my appetite...

Let's see what doc says and shall keep you posted...
