Wearing Braces at School

  I still remember when I got my braces for the first time. It was the summer of 1988, and I was nervous and didn’t want anyone to see my metal smile. I wondered what my smile would look like at the end of my orthodontic treatment and what my face would turn into after braces. Back in those days, you couldn’t see a simulation of your smile transformation. I went to the orthodontist with lots of fear, anxiety, and stress. It was the time when counseling for kids was considered not significant. In fact, my parents weren't sure what the treatment would involve like not being able to eat my normal diet. But they had this wish to make my smile perfect, just like other kids. At school, it was annoying to get bullied for my crooked teeth. The other students would call me names and laugh at me. People who did not say anything but noticed my crooked smile had that expression on their face I’ll never forget. My mother was the one who supported me in this and took me to see an orthodont...

They say that "nothing you wear is more important than your beautiful smile." But what will you do if you have an imperfect smile? Obviously, it can shatter your confidence, and you won't feel comfortable around people. This was exactly my case; I was a shy person as a child. The reason is that I have a broken tooth, and my front teeth are not aligned.

I can't explain in words the pain I felt from those braces around my teeth, but I had to put up with it because I wanted a perfect smile. Unfortunately, my daughter also has an imperfect smile. Although she is a confident child, I think somewhere along the line; she is being overlooked because of her unaligned teeth.

Best Orthodontist for Adults

Image
  Over the last few years, I’ve deliberately avoided going to the dentist, ignored reminder emails to book my next check-up, and consciously turned my head away while walking past my dentist. I avoided it not because I feared the dentist – but because I just cannot stand the dental drilling sound. What’s more, it had been such a long time since I had been to the dentist that now I was too embarrassed to go. Although, knowing that feeling ashamed will not change a thing, I finally braved a visit to the dentist. And while my teeth were in perfectly good shape otherwise, I needed no fillings or extraction, I did need braces. When I was a teenager, I religiously wore retainers to correct my overcrowding and overbite issues. For at least 2 years, I would wear my retainers to school every day, do homework in them, sleep in them and basically wear them all day except for when I was eating. I was well aware of the fact that these retainers were just a temporary resort and that I would need...
