牙齒校正檢查

Dentist Checkup
Last summer, I got braces and tonight I had to get a checkup at the dentist. This isn’t the first time though, since I have to get a checkup every three weeks. Normally, Dr. Guo just changes the rubber bands around the transparent brackets. As usual, he just did that. However, when I arrived home, my teeth were aching very badly. It seemed that Dr. Guo used a stronger kind of rubber band than before. I thought “why do I have to check my teeth before my midterm?” Nevertheless, all I could do was hope that my teeth would not affect my spirit and make me all grumpy, which is definitely not good for my preparation for the upcoming tests.

牙齒校正檢查
暑假時，我裝了牙套，今天晚上，我去牙醫那兒做例行性檢查，這並不是第一次了，因為我必須每三個禮拜檢查一次，通常郭醫師是把透明方形牙套固定器周圍的橡皮筋換新，今天也跟往常一樣，但是當我一回到家，我的牙齒却痛的很厲害，好像郭醫師用了更強的橡皮筋綁著牙套似的，我心想「我為什麼要在段考前去檢查牙齒呢?」然而我現在所能做的就只有祈禱，希望我的牙痛不會影響到我的精神，使我的心情低落，這樣對我準備即將來臨的段考，是沒有一點幫助的。
