Today I took off my braces.

After braces at the age of 41, it will take a lot of normal time, because the bones are very hard, it will take 45 months. Thank you, doctor.

5/21 Edited to

... Read moreหลายคนถามผมเหมือนกันว่า “จัดฟันตอนอายุ 40+ จะช้ากว่าจริงไหม” จากประสบการณ์ของผมคือใช่ครับ เพราะกระดูกและการขยับฟันมันไม่ไวเท่าตอนวัยรุ่น ผมเริ่มตอนอายุ 41 และจบที่ประมาณ 45 เดือน สิ่งที่ช่วยให้ไทม์ไลน์ไม่หลุดยาวไปกว่านี้คือ “มาตามนัดเป๊ะๆ” ทุกครั้ง เพราะแต่ละรอบหมอจะปรับเครื่องมือ/เปลี่ยนลวดให้ต่อเนื่อง ถ้าขาดนัดบ่อยๆ รอบการขยับฟันมันจะชะงักแล้วต้องเริ่มจูนใหม่ ทำให้ระยะเวลายาวขึ้นแบบรู้สึกได้ วันถอดจริง ขั้นตอนหลักๆ ที่ผมเจอจะเป็นแนวนี้: งัดเหล็กและลวดออก (จะมีเสียวๆ ตึงๆ นิดหน่อย แต่พอออกแล้วโล่งมาก), จากนั้นหมอจะทำความสะอาดคราบกาวที่ติดบนผิวฟันให้หมด แล้วตามด้วยขูดหินปูนและขัดฟันให้ผิวฟันกลับมาเรียบลื่น บอกเลยว่าช่วง “ขัดฟันเสร็จ” คือว้าวสุด ฟันดูสว่างขึ้นและผิวเนียนจนเผลอเอาลิ้นไปแตะตลอดเวลา ใครที่ถอดแล้วรู้สึกเหมือน “ปากโล่งแปลกๆ” อันนี้ปกติมากครับ เพราะอยู่กับเหล็กมานาน ร่างกายต้องใช้เวลาปรับตัว สิ่งที่อยากย้ำมากหลังถอดคือ “รีเทนเนอร์สำคัญกว่าอะไรทั้งหมด” ของผมต้องรอรับรีเทนเนอร์อีกประมาณ 1 สัปดาห์ ช่วงรอนี้ผมพยายามระวังการกัดของแข็งๆ และตั้งใจแปรงฟัน/ใช้ไหมขัดฟันให้ดี เพราะช่วงถอดใหม่ๆ เหงือกกับผิวฟันยังไว แล้วพอได้รีเทนเนอร์มาแล้ว ต้องใส่ตามที่หมอกำหนดจริงๆ (หลายเคสฟันไหลกลับเพราะใส่ไม่สม่ำเสมอ) ทริคเล็กๆ ที่ผมทำแล้วช่วยมาก: ถ่ายรูป Before/After ไว้เทียบชัดๆ, เตรียมคำถามไปถามหมอเรื่องเวลาการใส่รีเทนเนอร์ การทำความสะอาด และอาการที่ควรกลับไปพบแพทย์ (เช่น เจ็บจี๊ดผิดปกติ เหงือกบวม เลือดออกไม่หยุด) สุดท้ายถ้าใครกำลังลังเลเรื่องจัดฟันตอนอายุเยอะขึ้น ผมอยากบอกว่า “ทำได้ครับ” แค่อาจต้องให้เวลากับมันมากกว่าหน่อย และวินัยเรื่องนัด+รีเทนเนอร์คือกุญแจจริงๆ

5 things nobody told me about ✨braces✨
I got my braces put on Tuesday morning! 1. Your mouth is EXTREMELY wet sometimes. I catch myself drooling or with my mouth open randomly. They did not tell me this 😀 2. Over the counter medicine is a LIFE SAVER!!! I use extra strength tylenol ( 500mg per pill ) and it works wonders!!!

If you want braces but not the look!
Another option would be clear aligners like for example Invisalign. The difference between lingual/hidden braces, and Invisalign are: Invisalign requires compliance. You must put them back in after you eat and wear them 22 hours a day or your teeth may not get the desired results. With a

Braces coming off
When it’s time to get your braces off your orthodontist will remove it for you and give your a retainer. Sometimes the retainer can be removable and sometimes they are permanent and bonded on. #dentalhygienist #braces #hygienist #rdh #bracesoff
