i met my friend at the clinic again :) the nurse was kinda surprised that we know each other and said she'll try to arrange our appointments to be one after another the next time.

i got really excited when the dentist took out the wires that surround the brackets. i thought i would have a chance to revert back to coloured bands, who knew he took them out to replace them with new wires :(

now i only have to use 2 rubberbands instead of the usual four (2 for bottom left & right, 2 for top left & right). 1 goes around the bottom right, the other connects the top & bottom left. the reasons being: 1. there's still a gap on the bottom right. 2. the top & bottom row are supposed to coincide, but apparently mine's coincides only 90%, which is acceptable but the dentist wants my teeth to coincide 100%. my teeth started to feel sore 10minutes after i put the rubberband on (the one that connects the top & bottom). suddenly i feel quite restricted when i open my mouth.

I SPOTTED A NEW GAP! one of my teeth is crooked now (the one just beside the metal ring)! :x
