Two of my brackets were removed also so she had to fix it. Yes, I am guilty of chewing gums and eating popcorn... Those were the major culprits by the way.
I've known Dra. Carandang since I was a child, so I am very much comfortable sharing stories about life abroad,etc. That's why I always look forward to seeing her. Seeing her means a three-hour travel, though. That's the sad part..
I asked her when she could possibly remove my braces. As you know, I've been gone for 8 months for Qatar. She said, she still has to check the spaces of my teeth on my next check-up. But most probably, it would be removed in less than six months... Wow!!! I could not help but smile. Talks about being excited. And for that reason, I believe I will be obliged to stay in the country.
....In less than six months, I will be smiling with no wires on my teeth. :D
For those of you who are a little curious, I use these in taking care of my braces:
1. Oral-B Ortho Brush - As you know, it is difficult to clean around braces with standard toothbrushes. So this one is designed for braces because it features "V" shaped bristles to remove plaque around wires, braces, and teeth.
2. Oral-B Interdental Brush - It is used to clean plaque and food debris between your teeth. The brushes have small, bristled heads available in different widths to match the sizes of the gaps of your teeth.
3. Flossette - It's easier to use than any regualar dental floss. It conveniently removes the food and plaque toothbrushing can miss. (Any brand would do for flossettes..)
There you go....
