I was at Mt Elizabeth Medical Centre for my monthly dental appointment and the braces adjustment lasted for 45minutes....quite painful ...sob. I closed my eyes throughout the 45 minutes so i din know what the dentist was doing to my teeth.lol. I'm scared and i din want to see what kinda equipment he was using. Although the braces adjustment is painful, i think that it is still bearable. I think that the best way to forget the pain is to keep your mind occupied e.g to think about the person that you love/hate, to think about food, etc...
