Fourth Discussion

Again a discussion at Dr. Oommen's clinic...... it seems that it will takes ages to finish this whole process......

I accidentally turned up a month early for my dental appointment today. But they saw me anyway at Dr. Oommen’s clinic and my doctor said my teeth do seem to have moved quite a bit. The bottom ones that was having  a big gap is now perfectly in line with the others….and my bottom teeth have move backward and my top ones back quite a bit but still i can't actually bite or chew...:(

Third Discussion

The great third discussion, but this time they only discussed about my current treatment plan and making changes to that because they didn't feel that current one is doing good for me... They are trying to give maximum benefit for me........

Meeting up with Linu Sunny

Well i just can’t believe what happened today!! I was attending a wedding reception one of my distant relative stopped me to ask me if i was going to have an operation…..and it turns out he had exactly the same procedure  and surgery done.  And his teeth doesn’t looked good !!! He is having two dark surgery marks on both cheeks where the jaw begins… It worried me a little but he seems that he is not even thinking about that scars(he also said not to worry about the operation…hmmm). But more importantly that he doesn't regret it at all and wished he had it done years ago !

He was sweet and i’m so glad he stopped me. Hopefully i’ll catch up with Linu Sunny later and pick his brains about the whole thing.

Struggle for existence

Saw Dr. Rodney on 4th and which was horrible. He applied some band across the lower set of teeth which was hurting like hell….…. Now i could sleep only in the straight position... Turning into both sides hurts me when i wake up... .Also each morning when i wake up all the fixtures feel like they are welded into the side of my mouth. Its a very strange sensation... I almost forgot the taste of my favorite food... The urge to chew things also have lost completely..... Swelling turns up once or twice in a month and those antibiotics(MOX 500, NOVACLOX LB, ORDENT,AUGMENTIN) seems hectic leaves me damn hungry even after a good meal......And this braces started affecting my speech, I started talking like Renjini Haridas (a manglish anchor) and I received a lot of weird and funny comments. I almost lost my pronunciation. even my mother tongue feels funny when I try to explain something…….

My teeth have gone very yellow though. To keep my teeth away from bleeding and deposits I’ve invested in some mouth wash called PLAX, and some gum powder........... I've lost almost 8 kgs and now I look pathetic ( in my mom's view) and my dress all went unfit.... I have received various comments from friends and family and some old ladies suggested me to consult ayurvedic vydians (doctors )for keeping my body healthy and safe... .....

Scared of Square Wire

Today i had some more wire put into my mouth. My front teeth of  top set of teeth need to leave a gap so it’s to pull 'em apart. Its not started hurting yet.. Its complained only when Dr. Rodney pushed that inside.....

Next time i’m going to have a thicker wire, and then i’m going to have a square wire which apparently moves the roots of your teeth. But nice orthodontist Rodney says that it doesn't necessarily more pain.

My sweet smile:)

The second appointment after fixing braces. Now a visible change is there on my lower jaw. The shape of my face has changed already. It looks a lot thinner now I mean the lower part of my face. I’m wondering what i’ll look like after the surgery, and even if i’ll like it.

Now it’s the Christmas time….. I decorated my whole house and this evening I’ve just been taking a few pics to see what movement there has been with my face......

When i smile you can’t see my bottom teeth at all, only the top ones, but this picture is a bit cloudy to show this excellent result to its full effect.

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!
