Inno-C Ceramic Braces

I would have time for myself for this year, to do what I have to. 

The lateral incisors are going out of alignment and food begins trapping in between the lower right incisors. I wanted to re-align the rotation of the upper left too. The consequence of relying yourself on removable retainers, compliance is an issue. Quote from my boss, 'you're a naughty girl!', the next retainers shall be the fixed one. 

Day 1 was adaptation. Dr NY said the ceramic brackets were a tad large for my teeth size, so in order to prevent the upper teeth from chomping the lower brackets off, she put a bumper to open up the bite. The biting is only on that 2 molars, which makes eating incredibly hard and time consuming. From 8 points to 2 points, it's an agony. I couldn't quite close my lips either, with the brackets bulging. I was eating chicken rice which I craved so badly after returning from Europe, and it was a struggle to chew. I had tears in my eyes as I feel so handicapped and helpless. 

I was so whiny, lamenting on my disability. This is going to go for 6 months or so. Might take even longer if she were to procline my lower anterior to reduce the Class II anterior bite. The ideal plan was to do a bimax upper and lower jaw surgeries to retrocline the upper and procline the lower with braces to correct the cant and skeletal base, eliminate the gummy smile appearance. 'Too much trouble' she said, going through so much but it wouldn't make me look significantly different, and gutls do look a better with a little bugsy. 

The comfort food I had was takopachi, tasted as good as Osaka's. Minus the octopus which I can't chew on. I'd probably master the arts of biting with 2 molars, after a week or so. It'll be another 2 more weeks or so before the separators and molar bands. Till then, I shall whine again.
