Fixed braces



Before i get my fixed braces fitted. My appointment is at 10 am at dental practice just to put four clips, it hurt like hell….. I wish to run out of the clinic screaming out loud but the same time I thought, I’ll bear it just for the sake of my mom’s dream, for the sake of my surgery……. My last hope………..

I wondered how’ll be my braces fixed face . I’m scared it will hurt and i don’t know how others will react. I’m worried I’ll be treated differently too. But I hope it will be quick because I start loving these procedures…

I’ve just had my fixed braces glued on 2 days ago. It doesn’t feel great to be honest, and they’re not even properly hooked up yet .

The first couple of days are supposedly the worst, so i can only hope things start to improve. I’ve the braces closed in and it means i can’t bite down or chew anything. Its also giving me a sore throat and really catching the skin in my mouth at the front and they feel absolutely HUGE ….Honestly I’d do anything for a bit of comfort . Ringed Dr. Jeomy twice or thrice and his advice was to take imol and fix relief wax on contact areas.

So far i’ve gained temporary relief (following on from a few seconds 
of agony) from the following methods


  • Rinsing my mouth with boiling salt water
  • Stuffing wet tissue into the inside of my mouth
  • Taking paracetamol and/or Imole every 6 hours or when its action ends.
  • Swallowing things without chewing them
  • Only eating or drinking things in liquid form
  • Being asleep




And now its going to take a bit of getting used to!
