Today I had an appointment with my dentist to have the filling Miss M requested.
It turned out when I was there my dentist told me I needed to have an injection so he could reach that area of my mouth more easily.
It was better I didn't know I needed an injection beforehand as I get very nervous of injections and have never had one in my mouth before.
My dentist injected my gum so it was numb and then filled around my tooth.
There was nothing wrong with the actual tooth; it just had a little chip off the edge of which meant it wasn't properly rounded for the bracket when I get braces.
My mouth was still sore when I got home.
I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).
Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!
NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.
