When I was in Germany, I had to pay quite an amount to the insurance company. It was compulsory and thus, I thought it might be good to pay the dentist a visit. The old man was nice and gentle to the patient. When he first examined my teeth, he said that I needed an x-ray. I agreed. Free meh..
Ater he looked at the result, which I never had a chance to see it myself due to unknown reasons, he turned to me and said, "You have a serious problem. Do you have any family members with teeth problems?" I replied, "As fas as I am concerned, NO."
Then, he continued with the fillings and stuff. Because of the language barrier, we didn't have a chance to have a professional dentist-to-patient conversation. So the matter was left unresolved. I did not experienced any pain, hence the issue was forgotten.
Today, I had an appointment with a specialist at a nearby clinic. She consulted me on how the braces will alter the position of the teeth and make them straight. BUT...the braces will bring no change to my jaw which is a part of my facial bone structure.
You are getting confuse right? Haha...Let me enlighten you about the actual problem.
Pic above is showing a problem of uneven gummy line. Now, my condition is somewhat similar, the difference is that it happens to my jaw (bone line). But of course la..the line is not as bad as portrayed above. Only three front teeth are affected as they drop a bit from the axis and cause some misalignment.
The orthodontic specialist said that the braces will fix the misalignment but the laying axis will remain. Plus, two extractions needed for my upper teeth section. Or else, I will be a bit jongang and thus, the treatment fails to serve its purpose.
I am not afraid of the extractions since they will numb it. So I should have no problem to do it, except that my healthy teeth have sentimental values. Of course la kan? HaHa. However, after I learn about my once forgotten condition, I convince myself to put the plan on possibly a long hold and live with it as always.
I wish that I can speak Deutsch very well back then so that I will not have to spend that f**king RM 80 for the specialist consultant. Sigh.
Put it this way, Lord has granted me his bless for me to save money for the nikah. I am at ease now =)
