A Dental Story Part 5 And The Finale:

The last two tooth were extracted successfully without any complication. Next, came the putting of the braces which was separated into many different sessions. In the first session, some metal circular thingy were inserted into her four molars...not a easy thing to do and it hurts like donno what. In the second session, many little squarish metal things were glued to all of her toothh. These are known as brackets which is there to hold your tooth and for the metal wire to be inserted into. Then, the wire will be officially inserted into the numerous brackets. They will be tightened, so as to force your tooth to move to the correct position. It was a weird experience for the girl when everything was finished. She felt that it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, at least it wasn't as bad as the tooth extraction procedure. She felt a feeling of tightness in her teeth , a little discomfort and as long as you never touched the teeth, it was pretty ok. And, she could even choose the colour of her braces which was a really cool thing to do. She could even finished a plate of chicken rice after each sessions!
So, basically, having braces was like when you had finally gotten use to it, it would be the time for you to tightened it again and again. Having braces in your mouth was not a easy thing to live with. You have to use a special toothbrush. You cannot eat anything too hard or your braces will break which happened to the girl once. You need to floss after every meals. You had to handle and endure with the numerous ulcers given by the horrible braces which would rub against your lip and gum everytime there was a slight movement in your mouth. Then, you had to put dental wax on it to prevent anymore friction which sometime never worked, so your ulcers will often get bigger... Sometimes, the loose wires at the back of your molars will get loose and poke into your gum and ya, I mean poke into your gum. But, the girl would always look forward to the changing of the colours of her braces. She would often think of numerous combinations for different occasions like RED and GREEN for Christmas and RED and ORANGE for Chinese New Year. So fun!

Finally, the day came for her braces to come off. And, she did misses her braces a little after it was taken off. Her mouth felt naked, bare and her teeth felt too smooth!!! She still had to put on a retainer for a few years but that, compared to her procedures in the past were merely just peanuts...really minute peanuts! 
And so, in the end, the girl lived happily ever after with her family in their happy, happy land!
