[Orthodontic Procedure Review] I finally got braces after hesitating for so long, and the change turned out more naturally than I expected 🦷💫

Hello 😊 I was always self-conscious about my teeth when taking photos or smiling, so I had been considering orthodontic treatment and finally decided to get it done. I used to keep putting it off because I was hesitant about noticeable changes, but after the consultation, I learned that I could choose a treatment method tailored to my current condition, so I made the decision.

📅 Time of procedure and progress
I am [February 10] I started orthodontic treatment at [date] and currently [approx.] [6 months] Degree of progress I am currently wearing it. At first, it felt awkward going about my daily life with the device on, but I gradually got used to it after a few days. Especially in the beginning, I felt a pulling sensation in my teeth and some slight discomfort, but it has gotten much better over time.

💰 Cost and frequency
The total cost is [1.2 million won] degree I heard, and up until now [Episode 10] Approximately visit So, I had my condition checked and received the necessary adjustments. Since treatment methods and costs can vary from hospital to hospital, I think it is a good idea to check not only the total cost but also whether there are any additional expenses during the consultation.

🦷 The effects I felt
The most satisfying part was seeing my teeth gradually changing alignment, not only in the mirror but also in photos. I think it's important to wait and consistently monitor the progress rather than expecting big changes right from the start. Since the orthodontic process is still ongoing, I need to wait and see the final results, but I am satisfied that I feel less self-conscious when I smile compared to before. 😊

🌿 Side effects and recovery process
In the beginning Aching teeth or discomfort when chewing food I experienced this, and for a few days, I ate soft foods rather than very hard ones. Personally, the discomfort decreased significantly over time, and I was able to adapt to daily life. However, please note that the degree of pain or discomfort can vary from person to person, so this is just for reference!

📸 Photo verification
In the text ① Photo before procedure ② Photo showing current progress I think the changes will be more visible if you attach it at the same angle and a similar distance.

Overall, the thought that crossed my mind the most while considering orthodontics was I should have gotten counseling a little earlier. That's how it was. Of course, since the process and results of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on an individual's dental condition and treatment method, I think it is important to get a direct consultation rather than deciding based solely on other people's reviews. As I am still in the process, I plan to consistently record my future changes as well. 🥰

I hope my review will be of at least a little help to those of you considering braces! 💕
