In the last article, I talked about what influenced my decision to install a bracket system. And two months later, my Insignia system was delivered to the clinic and the day of installation was appointed.
Day 1. Setting braces on the upper jaw
Today I was put braces on the upper jaw. The procedure was wonderful! The unique comfort of the Insignia technique allows you to put four brackets at the same time with prepared templates. The doctor worked professionally and clearly. The procedure took about an hour. Everything was easy and painless.
They removed the mouthpiece. Aesthetic, very cute, even beautiful. But the upper lip! Objectively, of course, looks sexy, beautiful. But the sensations are not pleasant. Unusually. It interferes. I want to withdraw immediately. People can not smile. It seems that the lip sticks out forward. They say that this is all normal. Need a week to adapt. I’ll get used to it. For cleaning, I purchased a Curaprox Bracket, a Curaprox, and brushes.
Evening
Dinner. The desire to remove them immediately! Awful discomfort. I do not get any pleasure from eating. Food is everywhere !!! The jaw pulls, everything whines. I think only of teeth. With cleaning like coped, brushes comfortable. The night went well, slept soundly.
Day 2
Morning. I brushed my teeth for a long time). It hurts. They whine. I already feel the movement, the contacts are not the same.
Going to the theater. Smile in all my mouth! I did not know that such a smile). Very uncomfortable. Constantly I want to take cover.
Evening. Dinner with friends. They ordered sushi. Softly, but under the cheeks. Awfully annoying. Whole jaws, uncomfortable lips. I’m crying. Very irritated. I fell asleep.
Day 3
It’s still whining. This is already like an obsession. True, I get kissed).
Day 4
I did not go to work. I get a little used to it. Whine already monotonous. Lip is not used yet, resists, but looks good, even cute). I chew a little bit. Washed well, food is almost not delayed, which is very pleasing!
Day 5
I went to work. Nobody seems to show a finger). I overcome the barrier of communication with people, I smile. Like it turns out. I went to the orthodontists, told them that I was thinking about them))). Soothe me, they say that it will pass. It began in the afternoon. The lip is still not mine. Sensation of anesthesia on the entire upper jaw.
I bought an Irrigator Waterpik Traweller with a bracket for brackets. Small, convenient for transportation. Tried after the main cleansing — I liked it. The jet is adjustable, and the brush in the nozzle further cleans. A good thing.
Day 6
Like since morning does not hurt. Cleaning has already become more familiar, I adjust to the irrigator.
The last barrier is going to the gym. The coach did not notice at once), it’s already good. Itself has let out, has received pleasant responses. They said that braces do not spoil me). All the training looked at myself in the mirror, beautifully folded her lips.
Day 7
It does not hurt, but there is a feeling of tightness. The lip gets used to it. I get to communicate with patients. Put myself in the example!)
So a week passed. Sensations, of course, did not completely disappear, but it’s much better. I eat normally. Cleanses the braces and teeth well. Smile often! Sometimes aches a bit, but you can put up with it in the name of beauty and health!
