After so many years of consideration, I have finally pluck up the courage to go for a dental consultation. The route to better smile, since young i dread to go for dental check up. Every time i'm there, tears just flow down automatically . I'm terrified of dentists even though they will always encourage me . The sound of the metal equipment really scares me lots. Some dentist were very gentle, some are really violent. I guess that was what terrified me the most. Especially those equipment that are sharp and will caused extreme pain and sore. Imagine a dentist with white robe holding a sharp metal thingy. The sight of it makes me want to run away.

Picture above are the equipment that makes me tremble every single time when i was lying on the chair. Enough of all these childhood memories, so right now, i finally throw away all the negative thoughts , the extraction and most importantly , the pain that everyone feared. I went for an consultation on the 3/3/2015.
I will describe how the procedure will be. I will try to be as specific as possible so that people like me who lacked of the courage and details can learn more about putting on braces. This shall serve as a guideline for them to understand more about it.
On the day of consultation , the dentist will first analyse your teeth with the hand held mirror you seen on the top to see whether how many teeth you have, and he/she will measure with it with a consistency of you having to open and close your mouth to see how is the dental term called "bite".
Then she/he will explain some minor details to tell you how many teeth you most likely need to extract . Before you want continue the further procedure which is to start on the treatment, you will proceed to take an xray.
And the xray will look like this in the bottom.
Look at how crooked my teeth is. I have real crooked teeth and teeth hiding behind the front teeth. If i dont have to spend those money to regain my smile. I would not want to do so. Basically i need to extract 4 teeth as mentioned by my doc. The agony of losing healthy non impacted teeth really hurts me alot but i have no other choices. My jaw are too small to accommodate all these teeth. In the xray, there are 4 wisdom teeths. all growing in awkward positons. But doctor say, my wisdom tooth are real close to the nerve, basically a few rare one will have this kind of suitation and i'm the lucky "rare"one. Oh gosh. Win Toto also never so ZHUN!. But she say i dont have to do anything for the moment cause the wisdom teeth will not move or grow after 25 years old. So for the moment i dont have to remove it till further notice.
After the xray. will proceed to another step which is moulding of the teeth. I never get to take picture of it cause i was super excited on the day.
They will make a mould of the teeth by using Dental Impression Trays Stainless Steel . During the process, you will not be able to breath through the mouth if you are those having sinus problem like me, i have to breath through my nose which are quite tough for me.

The end product will look like this in the picture below:
After that, dentist will follow up by explaining the procedure of the extractions , those steps after the extraction. I shall continue to talk about it after the extractions.
