My experience about braces, part 2

Hai,

(con't from previous post)

Okay, let me tell the story about the allergic things. I get the allergies twice, first story when the doctor decide that I need to put on screw to pull my teeth upward at one sided. So, I got the Denkan local anesthesia and then one screw applied. Go back home and nighttime is so painful, I took a painkiller and slept early.  The next morning, my gum start to swell and really red. I tried to took another painkiller, and the evening time my screw site start to show a pus. I know, it's infection or allergic dancing around. Then I called the clinic for appointment and when I got there, the doctor assess and straight away removed it. 

Second incident after six to seven months from that, the doctor want to try another screw to pull my teeth. He then put a local anesthesia and applied one screw. As usual after go back home, took painkiller and straight to bed. Next morning looks okay, no gum swelling or redness. I then think that I'm fine, but the coming next day... my screw site start to loose and really pain. I called for the clinic and when I got there, the doctor straight away took it out. Luckily I'm not sleep with loose screw in my mouth or I will choke or aspirated with that things! Nah, the doctor then just keep away those screw from me until I finish my braces. Wait, one screw cost me nearly Rm 350 each okay. I need it to frame in my living room, doc!

Me, when I applied the braces? I started braces around August 2018, at that time I just started a class a month before. So after I finished class,  I will go to the appointed around 4 or 5 pm every month. But when I started work, I apply for half day and go there around 3 or 4 pm per slot. Whatever busy I am, if you want to settle faster and on track, keep well the every month appointment. Also, why do you think many dentist want you to avoid hard foods? This is because they don't want your teeth to move so much in this process. This really contribute for delayed the progress.

When I off my braces? I took out my braces around mid of January 2021, two weeks before my resignation. So, my braces period took me 30 months, equal to two years and five months. After that I depend on my retainer, my free white retainer. How the doctor do my retainer? After the doctor took out my metal braces, he clear all the plaque and put a mold to shape my current teeth. Then after two days, you can collect it. If you retainer took longer than a week, ask for your right. This is because your teeth still will be move even slowly. So in the past six month, applied retainer every time except when you eat. Then, at least two years every night. 

Here, my current teeth for you to analyze. Can you see that? That one guy really change my whole facial expression. But now, I'm okay. Praise to the Creator. I become more confident, and much smile without a reason. Hahaha... keep up love with my retainer too. So for those who want to do the braces, please make up your mind. The reason for braces, the payment ready, the suffer in bland diet, the time to rush in appointment and etc. For me to you, good luck and well-done. Bye!

Fashion Classy Modest Style

 Hello,

How are you guys doing today? How is your life this weekend? Do you eat well? I hope you and your family be bless with health and happiness. Me, I just started my two weeks of orientation and drained energy with up and down to the executive offices. Also, I spent days mostly about adapting the change of new environment and weather here. Everyday I need to remind myself to drink a lot of water in stay hydrated. In the same time, still struggling towards skin care to make all of it as a routine. I mean, needy in apply lotion before going to sleep, use sunscreen before going out and make sure I bring my umbrella too. Protection against overdose heated sun because summer season gonna come around this month to next July! 

Alright, today topic is about most-favorite-slot-the-fashion-girl. I know, it's a long time I don't talk about this kind of subject in my blog. Yeah, I noted because all of that randomly more about life. However since past year to this day, I started fell in love with this kind of style; classy style. I don't know either it is related to my increasing age or yet timeless appeal. But seriously, I really adore how mature modest this look is and the elegance aura. My celebrities preferences are Natalie Portman, Blake Lively and Victoria Beckham. There are super in bring out this style to the next level which you can see the confident, self esteem, and to give you comfort yet still modest as per required. 

Then, I do some research about this style and what I deeply loving it because it's focuses in quality every pieces and value used of the fabric. This make it to kind of long period use and same places more expensive than average style. Also, according to maintain these style it preferred less combination use of colors and mostly more to white, black, grey or sometimes light brown. So natural and down to earth colors. I see whoever wore it clothes also look clean, neat and wrinkle free. Their made of polyster, cashmere, wool, denim; avoid linen, silk or cotton. Noted. Why it's really so me because I really choose to easy going items which is less in ironing. Wink!

For those who are into this style I can suggest you some changes of wardrobe you can make:

1-Trench or camel coat-You can choose a beige to knee cover. 

2-Black or light brown suit-You can either go to blazer or the trouser only.

3-Cream or white knitwear-You can pick to look less formal to some event.

4-Jeans is optional-You can keep it as life saver.

5-Black formal dress-You can pick some simple one, avoid flashy blink.

6-Minimize jewelries-You can add a white gold or gold bracelet.

7-Plain bag-You better buy a black one to match in every clothes.

8-Pointed shoes-You preferred to go for medium heels.

Yup, if you want to give it a try...You should. To me, I really comfortable with this kind of style. It's give me such a good vibes and I still maintain the modest part. So, I don't know if it will stay with me a little longer or not...But, I can said, go on and if you don't feel right in some circumstances-make a move. There are lots of style out there for you to try and mix match to your sense. Find another and if it still don't suitable-keep on searching until you find the one. Adious and best of luck!
