In the last article I told why decided to put braces himself and about the preparatory stage. Who missed and who are interested - link at end of article.
Today I want to tell you how was my first month of wearing braces.
I have established very quickly, I really did not have time to recover and, as I already say "You can close your mouth and slowly get used to the brackets, and we are all ready to install microimplant (minivint)".
Braces are installed only on the upper jaw. As I wrote in a previous article, so I walk about a year, and then install the bracket system and the lower jaw, and so I go through another year.
I have a little two, one of them is so small that it does not fit the bracket. Because of this, I have established between the spring 3 and 1 tooth to make room for a temporary crown, which has already installed bracket.
Before installing minivinta I anesthetized the palate, it is not felt nothing. Microimplant put on the top of the palate, made the buttons on the 6 and 7 of the tooth on one side and combined it all with two rubber bands.
Second microimplant did not want to get up, because the space for it was too little because of my crooked teeth roots. Therefore, it decided to postpone the setting for the next time.
I learned a new way to brush your teeth, have told and showed why and how a brush after the payment was sent home. During this reception I paid 43,200 rubles.
I went home and called my husband happy, horrible lisp, lisp, but happy :-)) talks and almost through tears glad that my dream is coming true.
However, the joy was not quite long ...
Anesthesia began to depart, I could not swallow normally. All hell has created for me (especially for my language) is the same band, which is pulled on microimplant.
It was very painful. Because of gum pain and could not eat. Yes there to eat, I could barely drink! Sami braces gives me until a minimum of problems, just a little teeth pulled.
Due to the fact that you can not eat normally, as an evil want to eat even more. On this occasion, it seems to me, my husband suffered more than me: he always came up with what is possible for me to eat and to cook, buy baby food (My God, how poor children are eating), Crab salad made entirely on a grater (it was very tasty) and mashed potatoes.
The first two days almost did not eat anything, only drink water. Language of the gums hurt terribly, as if by sharp fishing line crawl. I hardly spoke at all her husband's questions answered by typing it in private messages VKontakte.
Next, start to pull teeth, but do not say that it is a strong pain. If I were only brackets without microscrews, I probably would have paid no attention to this discomfort. Braces itself again, delivering a minimum of problems. If a bracket rubs my cheek or lips, I just glue wax on braces and everything is fine. With this wax you can sleep in and not be afraid to swallow.
The first hard week for me friendship with bracket system was ready to call an orthodontist and beg to have removed this terrible design. Orthodontist wrote to me: "Be patient, Lisa, be patient! soon get used to it".
Somehow during flossing found that the thread passes freely between the two and the little unit, before the thread is not held at all. This means that the process is in full swing, and all my sufferings are not in vain. Now there is already a decent gap is getting bigger every day. The mirror can already see how the teeth gradually changing slope. And that I can not please :-))
From your diet eliminated all solid food: no nuts, even crusts of bread and other things that have to bite. Up to the small knife I cut chops, I feel straight lady :-) In a minimum eat fiber food because it gets stuck on an elastic band, and not always easy to get it. Tomatoes, bell peppers - alas, too, had to be excluded due to the skin.
Now brush your teeth at least 4 times a day. Sometimes you do not want to eat once again simply because you do not want to brush your teeth again :-)
Brushing now I - a special ritual.
First brush for braces, and then the usual brush, etc. - monopuchkovoy brush brush hard to reach areas under the arc and back sides of the teeth, and then go through the irrigator. Final cleaning stage I is dental floss, and if necessary - Complete special Yorshik. Too much I paid for the dental treatment, so keep them constantly clean.
A month later, he used to eat. The first couple of weeks for me, it was a disaster: the sick, the strong, something stuck. Now discomfort to a minimum. But terrible gum on the upper palate prevents me from talking still, sometimes bad to utter a few letters, and if you talk long, it is very much a sore tongue. But I suffer, because the beauty sometimes requires sacrifice, and then kneaded and more health.
Another nice bonus - this month I lost almost 5 kg. Because the first half of the month after the installation of braces, I did not eat from the word at all.
To be continued...:-)
