Looking back, I realized that my teeth needed correction when I was in college. Every time I talked to others, I always tried my best to cover my mouth with my hands. In fact, my teeth were not that ugly, but I had a special request. A perfect person strives for perfection in everything he does. The picture below is probably the only toothy picture I have taken of myself in more than 20 years.

When I was in college, the school was almost located in a village in the city, and there was no good dentistry around, so this matter had to be shelved.

When I was doing my internship at the university, because I had just entered the society and was relatively new and curious about all the work, I was so busy every day that I passed by without thinking about corrections. But only I knew that every time I looked in the mirror, I I would always look at my teeth and imagine how neat they look.

After the internship, I left my workplace and went home. This time I discussed it with my parents and made up my mind to correct it. I said I don’t have a job now and I can’t put it off any longer. If I put it off anymore, it will become a problem. Old girl. Then I went back to a dentist in my hometown to inquire about it. This dentist was also a place where many people in my hometown had their teeth seen. It was recommended that I go there. The doctor looked at the lower teeth and only said that it would cost about 10,000 and that four teeth might need to be extracted. As for teeth, I am hesitant about which subject. First, the hospital is not big, and second, the equipment is not very advanced. I said I would go home and think about it.

I went home and thought about it for a few days. At that time, I really wanted to see my teeth, so I decided to do it, and I didn’t want to worry about the consequences. Now that you have decided, you should wait for a suitable time to go to the dentist. Wait, it’s another year...

A few years after the New Year, the company where I used to work suddenly called me and asked me to go back to work. The girl in the original position resigned. , it’s not easy to make a living out of college, let alone a good job in front of you, so I agreed without even thinking about it.

It’s sad to say that now that I’m at work, it’s really not appropriate to ask my parents for money. I wanted to ask for it for a year, but never did. The year-end bonus in 2017 and the small amount of money I usually saved finally made it possible. I have the confidence to straighten my teeth.

Coincidentally, at the beginning of 2018, a friend of mine also wanted to have orthodontics. At the beginning, I also visited a few dentists, but the scale was very small. I kept thinking about it again, and my friend also went out to see a dentist. However, she fell in love with a hospital and decided to have it done there, so I told her to go check it out over the weekend and if it was good, she would have it corrected there.

Last Saturday, my friend and I made an appointment to go to the dental hospital. After we went there, the doctor took a look, took pictures, and took impressions. You could also choose a doctor by yourself. I chose a master’s degree student in West China. , after all, Huaxi Dental is well-known far and wide. The doctor gave me two options. The first is metal self-ligation, which may involve extracting two teeth and correcting it for 14,300. The other is that my jaw is underdeveloped and I want a better-looking face. , just do surgery and change it, it is the most perfect, but it costs 40,000. After thinking for 20 seconds, I decided to choose the first option. Of course I would like to be more beautiful, but I have no money and don’t want to go under the knife on my face.

Then the doctor asked me to have my teeth cleaned. Teeth cleaning in their hospital was free. After cleaning my teeth, it was already past 4 o'clock, so the doctor told me to go home first and stick the brackets on next Sunday.

My mood in the middle of the week was that I was looking forward to wearing braces. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to think about it and I would feel that this day was so meaningful. It turned out that I would always make a decision. Determination is such a joyful feeling.

Soon, Sunday came. The original appointment was at four o'clock in the afternoon, but I went there in the morning to accompany my friend to have his wisdom teeth extracted. I went to the doctor and happened to have time, so he put a brace on me. groove. Haha, awesome photo

It’s really hard to get used to having something in your mouth! It didn’t hurt at all at first, but I’m just not used to it. Today is the second day. I just want to say, it hurts so much. There are so many delicious foods waving at me, but eating is really no longer a pleasure. Put it into your mouth, and then chew it with willpower. It seems that if you want to be beautiful, you really need to wear glass slippers.

I have decided to carefully record this unforgettable process. The doctor asked me to wear braces on my lower teeth in one month. See you again in one month.
