When I was a kid, some of classmates used to tease me that I was a slight version of Bugs Bunny because my two front teeth were a little far from each other.
During my younger years, my dentist mentioned that I needed braces so that my teeth will be straightened and more so, the gap will close. However, I was scared to get one since I didn’t have a lot of friends who had them. In addition, my dentist thought that as I grow older, the arrangement might get better somehow. But after high school, my dentist convinced my dad and me to address my teeth issue by getting braces. My dad and I agreed. But before I fell in love with my braces, I had to endure the pain when it was “installed.” Haha! Imagine, I couldn’t eat solid food like pizza, meat, fish, or even rice. I had to resort to soup and soft biscuits. I must admit, I wanted to remove my braces when I was feeling weak because of hunger but after a week, I got used to the metals glued to my teeth. Haha! Soon, I found it very exciting when I was informed I could choose the colors for my brackets every month! So far, I have tried light pink, neon pink, red, blue, green, orange, purple, etc. But I repeated some colors already.
