“Initially the prospect pain and how others would react to them deterred me from seeking orthodontic treatment. I look very young for my age and was worried that braces would exaggerate this…finally I plucked up the courage and booked an appointment.
I certainly presented a challenge to Mr Parmar as I was extremely nervous. He provided honest advice and informed me of the most effect course of treatment whilst allowing me the opportunity to ask any questions. This gently coaxed me into progressing with the treatment and over time I began to relax upon my visits, which is an absolute first for me as I have always been an incredibly nervous patient.
After a few days of wearing my brace I realised that neither my speech nor appearance was affected. My teeth were tender for a day or two after each appointment, but nothing like I had imagined.
The end result of the work is that I am now no longer embarrassed of the appearance of my teeth and I am able to clean them more effectively. I never thought a transformation like this would be possible in such a short space of time! Only through having my teeth fixed do I now truly comprehend how self-conscious I was before.” |
