AH! I fixed on the full set of braces on Friday night. The process was ok, painless. But the pain started on the way home. Still bearable, but the tension was felt strongly.
With a foreign object in my mouth, I'm still manipulating the closing and opening of my mouth clumsily. Now, I'll also have to spend extra time brushing my teeth, to make sure that they're really clean. I guess I'll manage it slowly. Practice makes perfect, isn't it?
I'm surviving ONLY on semi-solid food, like oats, porridge and cereal for all meals. No chewing involved, just swallowing. To make sure that I'm still taking in sufficient amount of fibre, all my fruits are blended into juice, coupled with carrots. boohoo. there goes all my fav food for the whole week! Never mind, I'm not complaining. Hope to lose weight through this process.
I just popped a painkiller to keep the pain in control. My first, and hopefully, the last.
