Putting braces and smiling away to glory to show the shining pair of teeth was one of my dreams right from 7th grade!! You can imagine how crazy I was! I always had a feeling that my upper dentures were not down to their places and that only braces could set them right. I also liked the attraction aspect of it. Everytime I talked ppl would notice it in amazement and wonder how I manage to have them inside my mouth all the time. And as usual it was postponed for many years!! Finally when it was time to get married I had the opportunity to have them. With great excitement I looked forward to wearing them :). I knew I would have four of my teeth removed so I picked up courage and went in to have a date with the dentist!
Surprises! I had the braces in my mouth even before my teeth were pulled out. And it pained terribly for two whole days after which I had to welcome a teeth pulling session. Two from the left side first. I had thought that two from lower, i.e one from left and one from right and two from upper same way. . . And it pained terribly for the next two days. And then one more to be pulled out from the right side. It pained and I missed my NET exam cos of it.. . I was already giving up and then the dentist told me that after a month I had to remove two more from the upper dentures. So five in total. And I shrunk to my seat and sighed a yes to him. I dint expect this,, nor the pain. I could not manage. I could not open my mouth or sleep in peace during nights. I could not laugh or eat what I wanted. Passive resignation. . I never thought that my lovely dream would cost me so much. . Now I wished I had not dreamt!! Life is crazy sometimes. . Ciao!!
