Power Chain & Headache

It has been 7 months ++ since I wore my braces. On 5/1/2017, I went to see my orthodontist for month 8 appointment. On my thought, it would be another changing of power chain. I unintentionally asked the doc whether or not changing wire was to be done on that day.  So he checked my record book to see whether it’s necessary. And yup, it’s time to change to a THICKER wire. He took a long time to keep readjusting the wire and cutting the end to the expected length. It went on until he accidentally broke one of my upper brackets. I didn’t know that until I asked what took him so long that he also did scale my teeth and I could taste blood. Before I asked, it felt like something was at the end of my tongue near my throat. I tried to dry swallow it but the ‘thing’ was a bit hard. When doc affirmed that he was trying to put a new bracket, I said,

Dyra : I just swallowed something and I think it’s the bracket.

Doc : How come it’s the bracket, girl. Your bracket is here (pointing to a bracket on his tray) Where’s her broken bracket? (he then asked his helper)

Helper : The one on the tray is the new bracket.

And suddenly everyone was silent for like 5 seconds (literally). Good, now I can take an X-Ray to see a bracket is stuck in my throat. S***! No wonder it felt hard.

Back to installation of the new wire. I wanted to be happy that I chose a new color but couldn’t. The pain beats all. Only God knows how tight my teeth were just after installing it. I feel the pressure as if it was the first time I wore braces. I guess I will have to go back to my soft food (porridge and porridge ONLY) diet for 2 weeks.

Last night, I had an unbearable headache. Could possibly because of this new wire. Fortunately doc only put it on my upper arch teeth first. If he were to put on both arches, I would have swallowed my Vimovo by now to reduce the pain. Just so you know, I’m crying on the inside. Wuuuuuuuwuwuwuwuwu 😢😢😢😢😢

Anyways, I'm stil 'belanja' you guys a picture of my new power chain. It's blue, baby!!!

Love,
Dyra
