Final Push

Yesterday, I went back for my 14th Ortho review. My appointment was scheduled at 2.15pm but the jam was just horrendous (thanks to the street protests and road closures/blocks) resulting in me being 30 minutes late. Because I was late, I missed my turn and thus had to spend another hour waiting for my turn...

I am supposed to remove my braces (temporarily) in early September for my pre-wedding photoshoot on Sept 15, 2009. Hence, this time round, the dentist made even tighter adjustments by adding 2 crisscrossed wires for the upper jaw and new rubber loops for both upper and bottom jaw. It hurts quite bad this time that I had to take pain killers (which I normally don't). This will be the final adjustment prior to the wedding... fingers crossed...
