[2013.10.14] 6th month



Sorry for the super bad resolution, the picture was taken under dim lighting, so i attempted to brighten it.

i went for the nth adjustment today. Surprisingly no queue .
Dr Cheng removed the stopper at my left side by chipping it off ( was quite surprised when he did it as i wasn't alerted), and stoppers were added to my 4 front teeth ( i hate the vinegar taste). rubber band was added to my left side to pull my upper and low jaws together. i presume it's to improve the bite between the jaws. i was to wear the rubber band (named cranberry) everyday, removing it only for brushing and eating. The rubber band is to be changed everyday because it'll become loose, and it might break and hit my cheek or whoever standing opposite me. The tightness made talking (and yawning) a bit difficult.
Today's adjustment was painful.

Forgot to add this entry last month.
Basically, the tooth on my right upper jaw was the only one that was very out of place. The gap was very big. But Dr Cheng assured me that removing another tooth from the lower jaw is not necessary.
