My Metal-Mouth Journey!

[joeyyeo]

I have the same thing. My ortho said it's because there were more gaps and spaces around that side so it's moving more. The other side is also moving, just doesn't need to move as much

Yeah my ortho said not to worry about it, at least they're moving!

Just left the office, it was very fast! Left there within 30 minutes my lower jaw is so crooked and I already feel the tension... Will take some photos when I go home after gym! I asked her to give me random colors, and she picked out a very nice selection of pastel colors consisting of pink, yellow, purple, green and blue. Loving it! Gonna starve for at least 2 days... Surviving on liquid diet. Weight loss yay!

glad your adjustment went well my teeth are moving unevenly as well and the left side seems to be moving more quicker than the right! I am glad to know that it is not just my teeth doing that lol

looking forward to seeing the pics of your cool colours

Me too! And glad all is well Don't worry, the liquid diet will pass (eventually!)

[joeyyeo]

Finally managed to take a picture on my phone with decent colour. By the time I got back yesterday it was all dark! Anyway, here they are Absolutely loving the colours!

Love my ortho just finished another gym session and I am so exhausted! My teeth are extremely extremely sore today, mainly my lower jaw. Can feel things moving already though, my tongue is feeling some differences. Also, my bite seems to be a little off. When I bite down, my left side can't meet anymore... Is this normal?

[rhibee83]

Looking good!

Yep! its normal to have your bite go all out of whack! lol at the moment, I cannot bite on my ride side as the teeth don't meet! it is weird! it will all get fixed as the process goes along so don't worry

[Kurisu]

Oh wow the colors look really neat! Yep, my bite feels off as well, and it's only been a few days! I think because your teeth are slowly shifting, everything feels "off" because you are not used to it. But in reality, your teeth are moving to the correct position. Once you adjust, it will feel "right" again, but much better of course. I am also interested in changing colors for every adjustment. How frequent do you go in for adjustments?

BTW I've only heard great things about Singapore. Would love to go someday, especially since English is often spoken over there.

[joeyyeo]

@rhibee: yup I sure it'll get fixed soon. Just wondering how long it'll take

@kurisu: I go for adjustments once every 6 weeks! What about you? I'm still in school so I have no worries about going all whacko with the colours, I believe that itmakes my braces journey more fun as well hehehe. And my ortho seems to be having fun as well
Singapore is okay I guess. I guess the good thing is that all of us speak English, but we tend to mix in other languages when we're speaking as well, so sometimes travelers have issues understanding us but it's a great place with lots of things to do! A little on the pricey side, compared to neighboring Asian countries, but it's still an awesome place

My bottom teeth are moving so fast! Everything is almost in place except of 2 pesky lateral inscisors that need to be rotated quite a bit. Teeth are still sore though,I managed to eat some bread yesterday but with difficulty... A lot of difficulty.

I love your colours!

[joeyyeo]

I love your colours!

Aww thanks

[Tobilei]

So pretty!! Love them!!

I have empathetic sore teeth today. Got to watch my husband chew through some delicious smelling subway then came home to a plain crumpet *jealous*.

As for bites, yep, they go weird frequently. I can't even begin to describe my current bite pattern, it feels all over the place with random teeth meeting that never did before and others not touching anything at all. My molar has shifted a bit this week but last week whenever I bit down I'd bite down at one point and my bottom jaw would slide as the pointy bits on the top molar slid on the pointy bits of the bottom molar every time I bit down. I thought I was going to go batty Hang in there, it's all part of the (fun) *cough* ride.

I had porridge for breakfast and macaroni for lunch! I really want a biscuit but the pain's not worth it. I'm contemplating on baking brownies later, something soft and sweet that I can actually eat

I hope mine doesn't go that wonky And, I'm sure it's going to be a really "fun" ride!

[Tobilei]

I hate it when I want a bikkie or something and can't chew it! Some bikkies melt in the mouth..........but a square of chocolate melted in the mouth makes a good alternative (as do brownies! Or chocolate mug brownie/cake if you can't be bothered to make a whole batch).

And yes, it's lots of........fun

I love chocolate. But I'm currently in an attempt to lose weight! Made a deal with my friend, not going so well with it though. I made brownies in the end! Delicious I would make mug cakes but sadly... My microwave got taken away by my mum and she doesn't intend on buying another one

I managed to eat some meat for dinner! Minced pork, yum. Chewed with my 2nd molars which aren't banded so it wasn't that bad!

Mince is awesome

Until you have to clean it all out of your brackets anyway

And yeah, I was a healthy eater until I got my braces on. Seems to have gone out the window since

And there goes my dreams of losing weight with braces. It just flew out the door

Moving on to slightly more solid food today! My back teeth are completely fine already just my front teeth, so I can eat pretty much anything provided I don't have to break it with my front teeth
