Just removed my braces, its honestly really comfortable without it, but physically, Iam fine, its just a psychological feeling I guess. Another phase in my life is yet over, but I cant seem to get a hold of it. I know that physically speaking, removing my braces is a good, a wonderful thing, but inside Iam really sore because I miss my orthodontist so bad, honestly.
Today was my last ever visit, I was sad, but I kept a cheerful face.
Me: Hello:)
DL: Hello, come come, julyn, sit down:)
Me: Baoyi's supposed to come today but she met with a little accident.
DL: HUH?! She okay or not?!!
Me: Ya she's fine, only that her arm's in a sling so she cant come today, she says she wanted to come to let Dr Yong check her teeth.
(Dr Yong comes in)
Me: (smile)
DL: ( a pause, looks at teeth)
DL: Wah nice already, I dont feel like taking out leh!
Me: Haha why?
DL: You love me right?
Me: Yes, but-
DL: So you should leave it on for another year right?
Me: Haha, sure...
DL: Ready????
Me: ( looks in alarm at the clippers)
DL: Dont so jing zhang( nervous) la..
( a pause as clips break apart wires holding brace together, another pause as I watch in amazement. My entire brace came out in one piece.)
DL: Out already! :)
Me: (tries to feel teeth, but finds it numb)
DL: okay, dont move, Iam gonna start the motor to spray your teeth k?
(a few minutes of high pitched squeaking, more squeaking, water flying in eyes, watching the 2 dentists ( DL and assistant) loom over me......)
DL: How old are you and Baoyi this yr ah?
Me: mmmphhhhh shixtin...
DL: sixteen? Ohh okayyy..
( a pause)
Me: Urghhhh( tastes blood)
DL: Go rinse!
( another pause as the doctors watch me rinsing)
Me: I feel weird...
DL: ( laughs) you'll be feeling weird for a while:)
( assistant prepares a mixture to make a mould)
DL: (holds a green tray of plaster-ish thing) I want you to bite into this okay? I say bite 1st then you-
Me: (bites)
DL: NOT MY HAND!!! My hand I want one okay!
Me: oops..
DL: you ah.
Me: Sorry sorry sorry sorry.
DL: (jams plaster onto teeth)
Me: (whimpers)
DL: I take the bottom one okay?
Me: (nodds)

DY : What happen to Baoyi?
Me: A little accident, She's fine now:)
DY: Good good:)
DL: Done! Go rinse?
Me: (rinses)
Oh here comes the best part.
Me: Dr Loh?...
DL: Yes?
( all the doctors were in the room at that moment for some reason or another)
Me: (feeling awkward as I was speaking to a whole crowd) Erm, you know so many people always find dentists so scary and frightening and they've always been thought of as terrors...
DL: Ya i know, so sad right:(
Me: But after this, I know for a fact that that's not true at all. I love all of you, you all have changed my perception of dentist totally, you all are really, honestly nice :D
I didnt quite expect this.
DL: ( a split second pause) AWWW SO SWEEEET!
DL: (rushes forward and grabs me in a hug)
Me: ( couldnt really react, my arms were pinned to my sides, but I returned the hug as much as I could)
DL: THANK YOU! thank you for giving me such wonderful feedback okayy! I wanna hug and kiss you!
Me: Oh er.. haha?
DL: (flying kiss)
Me: ( flying kiss back)
DY (Dr Yap, another dentist): Come, lets take xray?
Me: Okayyy:)
( Takes xray)
Me: See you okay?
DL and DY: (comes out to the reception, meets my dad paying up)
DL: Helllo daddy?
Me: ...
DL: Aiyo you know julyn gave me such g8 feedback I wanna hug her?
Me: HAha, sure sure:)
Dad: She likes you what!
Me: ......
Dad: Finishes paying
Me: Okay, bye then, seee you in 6 months time!
DL: Okayy, bye then:) (waves vigourously)
Me: (waves back)
Iam gonna miss her so bad, infact I already do. Why is it that i always miss someone after I know Iam not going to see them again?
