Everyone around me said it hurt, so I was really scared before I started, but it’s actually not a big deal! Haha. It’s not so much painful as just a dull ache.

I’m going all the way to City Hall Station instead of going to a clinic near my house because Choi & Lee Dental Clinic is famous for specializing in orthodontics, so I looked it up on YouTube beforehand.

When I first started going for consultations, I felt a bit lost on what criteria to use when choosing a clinic, but as I kept going, I feel like my eyes have opened up and I’ve developed my own standards, I guess?

It hasn't been long since I started my braces, so there aren't any big visible changes yet, but seeing things sorting out one by one like this gives me a sense of peace.

For those of you worried about orthodontic pain, don't worry too much! It doesn't interfere with daily life at all, and it’s so comfortable. Haha.
