To a brighter smile.

Going to wipe off the thin layer of dust settling on my blog (LOL) and blog about something which I haven't been for a long time...
The progress of my braces treatment!

And I know I do have a search bar function on my blog,
but for the benefit of those lazy ones I shall link previous braces posts below:


Love the cosy interior of my dental clinic, makes it a lot less intimidating than it should be!
I've a thing about visiting dentists, if you know me well enough...

(In case you want to ask me about the clinic and orthodontist I go to, please click on the links above!)


Getting ready to tighten my braces in a bit!


With the ever gentle and patient Dr Lee!
:)
I really love my visits because she's so chatty and friendly!


My patient records.
Hahaha.


Andddd in less than 30 minutes, we're done!
Unglam position above, but you can see the sides of my teeth are straight and in their rightful positions now!
As compared to some photos you'll see later on...




The view from Dr Lee's room!




Sankewwww Sissy for accompanying me!
:)


Can't wait to take 'em off!!!
Dr Lee says in 8 months or so, because my teeth has been shifting at a relatively fast pace!
:D

P.S. Both my brackets and wires are transparent thanks to Simpliclear!
The most awesome braces around!
They work like metal braces but you can't see them at all!


And here's a timeline of my teeth throughout this year!
I didn't really take notice of how having braces on would affect my look,
but they did affect quite a bit (and I was rather stunned, in a good way) when I scrolled through my posts to save these photos!

Oh, and also, having braces on gives you a smaller jawline = smaller face!
Because I went for a wedding dinner last week and my relatives asked if I've lost weight.
Which I haven't.
And they commented that my face is sharper now!

Thanks again, awesome transparent braces!
:D :D :D


Taken during January this year, CNY!


Looks damn untidy and ugly from the side!
D:


Early April this year, omg the face round daooooooo.


And mid April, after I've gotten the braces on!
Can hardly see them right??
Hehe.
I realised that I don't actually have that many photos taken in April/May,
because I was going through the awkward learning-how-to-smile-properly-with-alien-stuff-in-my-mouth stage.


June, not bad can smile better already!


July, already very straight!


August, smile very naturally already!
:)))
Only took four months to reach this stage!


September and October!
As you can see, I have relatively straight teeth already!
But it needs to be pushed in more and the gaps (where I plucked my teeth) needs to be closed.

But it's truly amazing how braces have changed my look so much!

I owe my life (and teeth of course!) to Simpliclear.
Hehe.
THANK YOU!!

And ending off this post with some gruesome up-close photos of my teeth.
CLICK 'X' if you just finished your meal or something!




Did a 'photoshoot' (HAHAH) for my teeth before braces!



Anddddd, here's another set of photos after 3 months!




Will pester Dr Lee to do another 'shoot' for my teeth on my next visit.
HEHE.

Goodnight!
I promise the next update will not be too far away!!
