Special Teeth
HandWritten on; 10.07.2008
Saturday(Oct.4), I went to the dentist to consult regarding my TMJ syndrome and teeth abnormalities. As far as i know, TMJD or Temporomandibular joint disorder is a kind of disorder wherein there's a possibility of having a lock jaw. Lock jaw is as bad as it sound. The jaw literally locks, get it? good.
I already know about this long before, because everytime i would widely open my mouth(either yawning or eating), there's always a significant pain and jaw popping or ticking sound in my jaw bones or the sides of my face. There's a scientific explanation, of course. Try to figure it out.
I have this special case though. Of course, there would be series of treatments for this kind of disorder but because of my special case, the treatment process may took several months. Well i'm talking about my teeth. In my lower teeth, i have FOUR missing teeth. Missing, as in, no sign of four teeth since birth. And i think, it's also one of the factors for having this TMJD.
So, before the treatment for my TMJD, i need braces first to correct my lower teeth. After the braces will be the time that i will undergo the TMJD treatment. Whew. Though braces may be appealing to some, it's still difficult to manage that situation, the pain plus the special cleaning action. lol. It's also kind of annoying having wires wrapping around your teeth. geee.
I pity my brother. He got braces just this morning, and I think it sucks for him. He can't sleep. He's in the verge of crying. Yes, while i'm typing this entry, he's managing to get some good sleep inspite of the pain. He even asked for sleeping pills, how about that?
So i'm still double minded.
Why do you prefer calling abnormal kids as special children?
So why do i have to call my teeth abnormal, if i can call them..
"Special Teeth"? :)
