Photos taken at my house on the day I had my braces removed after 6 loooooong years.
(My dentist is in the Philippines, and I'm based in Singapore. I'm supposed to visit her every month, but I only get to see her on summer vacations and Christmas holidays, that's why.)
Still, my braces were prematurely removed because we still haven't achieved the desired results - my upper and lower teeth are still not properly aligned. I need to wear a rubber mouthpiece every night for 2 years so I won't be babalu, and maybe when I've saved enough I'll have my teeth fixed again.
Thank you parents for my braces.
I've been begging them for me to have braces since I was 10 (I guess). All the coolest kids in school have braces. It's a status symbol in the Philippines but we couldn't afford it then. I finally had mine when I was 16, because my sister needed them due to some mildly serious jaw problem. If they were going to let my sister have them, they should let me have too coz I was asking them for the longest time. Haha. And of course my teeth really were crooked and crowded plus my canine teeth were protruding, and I always had to cover my mouth when I laughed. I even resorted to going to a cheapo quack dentist who removed two of my upper molars, so when my mother finally brought me to a real orthodontist, she really had a difficult time with my case.
Anyhoo, all that's changed now. Smile!
