Update!!

Update posted by Chantelle Buys

I got some good news on the 12th of December when I went to get my braces changed.

It was the last time that they would be changed and this time they aren't even tight.

I couldn't believe my ears!

The doctor said that when I go back again in February, he would be taking x-rays and then we would be going upstairs to the professor. He'll be the one to decide as to what to do about my jaws and hopefully then I'll get my operation date. :P

I got my braces in March and I'm already nearing the end of my braces journey. :-)

In February I'll have my braces for 11months and I thought that it was going to be 18months.

Each time my braces got changed, it became even harder to eat. Now it's even worse, I can only bite on the right side of my mouth unless I move my jaws around a bit to bite on both sides.

When the doctor asked me if I was able to bite, I told him that each time he changed my braces, it becomes more of a challenge to eat. I even told him that I've caught myself biting down onto my bridges at the bottom and that so far, I haven't bitten them off, yet. It does give me a scare though when I suddenly wake up and catch myself biting my bridges or the mettle parts holding the ends in place.

The doctor just laughed every time and tells me that it means that I'm on an even better diet. (^^^)

Um, at least when the operation date comes, I won't end up giving myself a heart attack each time waking up.

The reason why I get a scare is because we don't have a Orthodontist in town who could quickly fix my braces again if I do manage to bite them off. Why the hell I'm doing that lately, I really don't know.

The doctor did tell me that I'll stop doing that when everything's over and done with, that it's because my body doesn't like the foreign objects and so it's just taking a bit of revenge on the braces for torturing it so much.

At least it's not me trying to bite it off by thinking of doing it. So, only 2more months of figuring out of how to go about eating my food and worrying about when I'll be breaking them off before I'm fully awake to stop myself. :D

I still can't believe that the end's near! o/
