My braces story

Just changed my braces colour during last Saturday appointment, yay!!! Colour chosen is light purple, which I am very satisfy. Many of my friends also think that this colour is nice and suits me very much. Kinda mysterious and more mature, I guess. Colour changing is one of my favourite during this braces wearing process. For each appointment,  what I concern the most is always the colour! Every time the day before appointment, I will be thinking of what colour to choose, so that I can straight away tell what colour I prefer when the nurse pass me the colour chart. Even though my favourite colour is blue, but I found that blue doesn't really suit me. In fact, I look pale when I was in blue braces, especially turquoise. Such a sad case~

For some people, they might be wondering why don't make the braces less visible, why are we making the braces so obvious to be seen in colour? I'm quite a high profile person, if wearing braces in an invisible way, is not my style actually. Is almost the same like you have pierced a tattoo but you hide it with clothe. What is the purpose of piercing then? The Taiwanese artist '小S', she also preferred her braces to be obvious rather than invisible and even hosting a TV program with typical metal braces. Her braces diary is very inspiring. Because of her, braces started to become a trend among ladies and youngsters. 

I was a little shocked when my aunt who just back from company trip told me that braces are everywhere in Jakarta city. There are various colours and once you pick one, they will make it for your teeth. It seems a kind of teeth accessory like nail art. Maybe this could be a type of fashion in Jakarta. Haha~

In the blink of an eye, I have been through 9 months with metal teeth, until July then will be considered as one year. Compare to last time, I gain more confidence in braces which I never expected before wearing. If you have noticed my Facebook pictures, you can actually discover the changes of my face. If you can still remember my awkward in-out teeth last time, perhaps my long-lost 'cuteness'. I used to think it was cute to have in-out teeth, but when I found that my teeth is getting more and more crooked day by day. I was getting frustrated with it and that's how I got braces!

For those who are planning for braces, I am here to encourage you all. Maybe you might perceive that braces is only suitable for youngsters, no, you are wrong. In fact, many of the working class are also wearing braces. And my course mates also wearing as well! It is something very common in 21st century, so what to fear of? Imagine, braces can make you shine bright like a diamond~
