Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera,
My Braces Story 🦷
Before I decided which braces to wear, I spent a lot of time searching online. But honestly? I couldn’t find much info, so here’s my personal review based on experience. This is for anyone curious about braces or unsure which type to choose.
Step 1: The Dental Visit
The day I went to the dentist, I thought I was going to get metal braces. But the doctor asked, “Why don’t you try ceramic?”
I asked what the difference was, and they told me:
-
Less pain – lower risk of ulcers.
-
Follow-up every 2 months – perfect for me because monthly visits are hard to manage.
-
Less obvious – people barely notice you’re wearing them.
-
Faster results – apparently faster than metal braces.
So… I chose ceramic transparent braces.
Step 2: Choosing Between Types
Ceramic braces come in two types:
-
Like metal braces
-
Transparent (slightly more expensive)
I went with transparent for my upper teeth and metal for my lower teeth because the full transparent set wasn’t in stock. No big deal—I was fine with mixing them.
Step 3: Wearing the Braces
The process wasn’t painful, but it did take time—around 45 minutes or more. At first, it hurt a little, but nothing too dramatic.
-
First week: I couldn’t eat much.
-
After 3 months: I could chew normally again.
Funny thing? I didn’t lose any weight 😅. I love my curves—it’s what keeps me warm!
Step 4: People’s Reactions
Honestly, ceramic transparent braces are so discreet.
-
My best friend didn’t notice for two weeks, even though I was eating in front of her.
-
Most classmates don’t even know I’m wearing them.
-
Outsiders? Totally clueless.
My Advice:
If you ask me which type to pick: go for ceramic transparent braces.
-
You barely feel them.
-
People barely notice them.
-
They’re comfortable and low-maintenance.
I’m really happy with my decision. Honestly, wearing braces doesn’t change my life at all—except for the small initial adjustment.
