Putting DENTAL BRACES is uncomfortable. In short NO FUN AT ALL! You cannot eat properly and it is really a discomfort feeling as if that weren't bad enough, you are afraid to SMILE.
Most of our kids today needs dental care, as I read from UNICEF PHILIPPINES, there are children need to have dental help specifically their nutritional and health care.
How can a child have that GOOD SMILE if these braces will just give them discomfort?
According to the dentist of my daughter; even if it hurts just always smile because braces will not stay forever. Put a happy attitude and boost your SELF-ESTEEM. And get some inspirations. Like people who wore braces but now they are rich and famous, and have that BIG AND BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
I had retainers before and it was really painful the first week but it was able to cure the large gap in my front teeth. Braces can help align the teeth.
ReplyDeleteI had braces for two years back then and let me tell you, proper placement and treatment will go a long way. If you take your braces for granted, it'll just be wasted money. Good on you and your daughter for thinking positively about the experience :D
ReplyDeleteSometimes, we need to make some sacrifices to have something fixed like the way we want them. I'm sure wearing those braces will be worth it.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter used to have a retainers,(thanks sa sis kong dentist). Grabe raw during the first few months. so painful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I have graduated from wearing braces because it caused me discomfort especially when eating and talking a lot during presentations. Your daughter is right. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to wear braces, definitely not fun, so painful for the first month and the amount I need to shell out! OMG! hehe, good for those whose parents paid for their braces, for me I was able to afford them when I started working.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time way back in high school that I get jealous with people with braces. I actually find it cute at the time. Do not worry, there are many people like me who thinks braces as a really pretty accessory. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to dental and medical matters, I preferred to sacrifice but with long lasting effect. Wearing braces is great when fixing teeth alignment for youngsters.

ReplyDeleteThey say that a difficulty often paves the way for opportunities. The outcome surely outweighs the brace discomforts.
