Errrgghhh....

I feel disturbed as in very 'pek chek' whole day today. Woke up to find my upper row of teeth all painful (Have to brush my teeth gently). ZP applied a whole string of of power chain (instead of usual O rings) to my upper teeth yesterday to close up the tiny tiny gaps and maintaining the 'shape'. According to him, my upper teeth are more or less done, so it's just some fine-tuning work. The more tedious part now lies with my bottom teeth. There are too many unwanted movements that he needs to adjust them slowly (one by one) before he could correct my 'bite'.

Picture above shows my new accessory- a molar band. It's a metal ring (comes in different size) that 'crown' your tooth. It's not common for people to wear band anymore but in my case here, the buckle tube caused my molar to move into a slanting position and so ZP has to remove and substitute it with a molar band to correct the unwanted movement of my left molar. If you have been noticing, I have pretty small incisors and canines. Surprisingly, I have big molars. So I need a size 39 molar band.

Experiments not working, teeth aching, it's really errrrgggghhhhh.....
