Hello, this is Shiry and thank you for visiting my blog today!! It is the day after and I posted a video on YouTube the day before about my visit to my orthodontist . This morning I am in no pain, just a little stiff and sore. If the pain becomes too unbearable, I will take some ibuprofen.
I recorded a little of what they do at the actual visit. When I go to the dentist, I just close my eyes and let them do their magic. This is my first time seeing what they actually do.
- Pearl everything (O's and power chains)
Since I have had teeth extracted, a total of four, the power chains will assist in closing the gaps on the top and bottom. So you maybe asking these questions:
Do they hurt? Ummmm, yes and no.
- Uncomfortable at first while they are being applied
- You will not be able to bite down for a couple of days
- More food gets trapped between brackets and around chains
The only thing I recommend is:
- Take some pain reliever 30 minutes prior to visit
- Be prepared to eat soft foods
- Take dental brushes everywhere
- Chew gum if you can
- Keep lips moisturized
My next visit to my orthodontist is October 28. 2014, so my visit is in 6 weeks this time. My dental cleaning for my teeth is on September 23. Good luck with your braces journey, I hope my blog and videos help you to decide on your plan of treatment. Have questions? Please comment below! See you on the next video!!
