13th Day

Wee~ It has been 13 days since I put on braces. I now have no problem with most of the food out there except those deep fried hard or crunchy stuff. No more pain at tall and no tightness when I wake up every morning. Does that means my teeth are no longer moving? Hmm.. I don't think my teeth moved at all though. Can't wait for the next appointment for my first tightening to feel the pain again (so that I know they are moving LOL). Still gotta wait for another two weeks..

Here's the picture of my extracted premolars. I tried my best cleaning them but thats the best I could do :( You can still see some blood.. Is there no way to clean them further? I never knew our teeth are that long until they are placed in front of me soaking in blood. I really felt sad looking at them for the first few days. Like I murdered two innocent people. They are forever gone. And my teeth count is forever -2 (for now. The number will probably decrease more when I age). It's not that I can 're-plant' them later on if I want. So.. bye bye. Thanks for being a part of me for more than 20 years.
