well let's talk about my first tightening experience.
it was actually pretty painless, much to my surprise. I hear and read that it will be very painful after tightening. but it wasn't the case for me. hmmm I was actually hoping for more pain and tightness so that I would eat lesser. but oh well.
check out the shifting of the first few weeks!

| first few days! |
 |
| after first tightening, check out the spring! it's to open up the gap so that the tooth inside can be shifted out! |
 |
| 2 days before 2nd tightening! |
I think the teeth have shifted quite a lot. I can feel the gaps getting bigger already! but of course there's still a long way to go. But a bad thing about ceramics is that I think they get stained more easily. But after getting braces I've also been brushing my teeth a few times a day, so my gums are much healthier now compared to before.
2nd tightening in 2 days time, pretty excited! (: update soon!
