I guess i really overworked myself yesterday. I was aching from head to toe and i could barely open my eyes and get myself prepare to go for dental review. Thank god, my surgeon transfer to Raffles Hospital @ Bugis. It save me alot of travelling time and more time to sleep.

I went to Raffles Hospital to see my Surgeon for my dental review. This is the 3rd review le.
I am actually looking forward to this review because i can finally clear some doubts about my alignment of my teeth which have been slightly shifted and not align after my 2nd review. About my sleeping position, diet - is that the reasons for the shifting of my jaws. I am so damn worried for the past few days. Thanks god, those are not the reasons. But she did say that there might be a chance that it will shift by a little. What is important is how you look from the shape of your face and usually people won't notice how ur teeth is aligned by the center line.

My lower jaw is slightly shifted by 1.5mm to the right side. And because of that my surgeon remove my current V V V rubber bands securing my teeth and devise a new way of tying up my teeth. So basically my teeth now is being pull and tie 2mm to the left hand side to correct my position of the jaw back after the whole thing when all rubber bands are remove. So basically if u see me now. My lower jaw is all the way to the left and my face is slanted to the left. Me and my mum is basically laughing out loud from the way my whole face is slanted. And we didn't notice that until we got home. NO WONDER so many people are staring at me when i am on the way home...and going NTUC to buy things with my mum.

And all my stitches inside my mouth are remove. They so called cut into my flesh and remove out. The most pain dental experience i ever had. The wound is still bleeding when i leave the hospital.
This isn't the worst part of it. What comes next is the numbness, pain, suan-ness and the uncomfortness of your jaw being pull to one side by 3 rubberbands. The numbess is 4 times worser then the numbness i felt during the first time i did braces and 4 times the pain i did the operation to remove my wisdom tooth.

Previously my teeth is secure with 3 rubbers band in V V V format.
Now it is being tie up in \ \ \ format. Each \ with one rubberband stretching to at least 3 cm to 4 cm (stretch down hook to lower hook and up again to hook to upper hook) each tying up my upper and lower teeth. Just imagine using a 0.5cm diamter of rubberband to make such lengths, you can imagine the aftermath of intense throbbing pain and numbness and sourness i am facing now. And it is so tight that i couldn't even remove them for brushing. Except for the one in the middle, i remove it when i am eating. Only that can be remove as the other 2 are more inside my mouth and at the side. I got no choice but to use the tiny toothbrush and dip it in toothpaste and brush through each and every gap in my braces and rubberbands.

And next 2 weeks will be my last review!!!! As said by my surgeon that i am recovering very very well and i clean my teeth so good that she don't even need to do much. And what is left next is my braces. Then i am FREE! Now i am only left with struggling to open my mouth. Now only can open 1 and a half finger-wide.

But the numbness and pain is killing me. And all the goodies i bought yesterday and today, can't eat at all! So i am somehow back to liquid diet (fruit juice, porridge water and soya bean milk) with noodles and beehoon at most as they are the easiest to clean and be remove from my teeth as compared to rice and porridge.

I really need a sony ericssion cable to upload all the photos and pictures about my happening mouth and jaws. Any kind souls who have it and is willing to lend me, pls tell me. You can get a chance to be the 2nd friend to see my new face=)
