Braces

Thursday, May 1, 2008

I've always fancied wearing braces back in High School, as what a normal kid growing up in a private school would always see from her "rich friends". Most of my friends wear them before and since our family is not well off, I cannot even get my teeth checked by a local dentist. I always just rely on my ever reliable toothbrush and "Colgate". But I've always promised myself to get it once I get a nice job. Back then to get braces on your teeth you have to prepare atleast P60,000 for both the upper and lower teeth. Now, I've asked some friends who got themselves their braces, they paid around P20,000 - P40,000, which is still infact costly for me. But everything changed when I learned that an officemate of mine, a dear friend, is capable of installing braces, she's not licensed though but what the heck, I'm not after her license, and the fact that I just want a non-functional braces, why would I pay P20,000? Right? Anyway, after months of begging, she finally gave in, and she scheduled me last Monday. I never realized it was that easy to get braces on. It wasn't really tough, though I think it's because I never really had issues with my upper front teeth. They look good already, I just need them to look better. It only took around 30-45 minutes and voila, I got cute braces on my upper teeth and I got them pink rubber bands too. I still have 2 other colored rubber bands and once I need them she would be there to install them. I then became interested, so I'm planning to put braces on my hubby, and maybe I can fix his dental issues then, hehehe.. Anyway, I have not photographed myself yet, but once I get a picture of myself with my new braces on, I would definitely post it here.
