Personal Autobiography : Personal Reflection

Welcome to… basically my life. My full name is Carlos Esai Arias, however no one ever refers to me by my middle name. The composition of my family is quite simple: my older sister who is currently attending University of California, Irvine, my mom, and my dad. You will quickly realize how much I participate in certain circumstances. I will raise my hand frequently to answer questions; fortunately, I’m not afraid of being wrong. Learning from my mistakes is something I do quickly. English may not be my strongest subject, however that won’t hold me back from excelling this year in English II Honors. Behind this education driven teenager is just another human being with his own life experiences. Let me tell you more about them.

“Over four million people in the U.S. wear braces, and 25 percent of these individuals are adults. If you have a misaligned jaw or out-of-place teeth, be sure to ask your dentist if braces are right for you.” (A Biographical Portrait of Edward Hartley Angle, Nov. 6)

    To some orthodontistry is just an ordinary cosmetic change, but for me it’s both a learning experience and a life changer. Getting braces has certainly benefitted my life. My new smile created from the works of orthodontistry has allowed me to gain confidence with my smile. Before I stepped foot inside Thacker Orthodontics, I used to be self-conscious about my own smile that I would try to hide it while photos were taken. Nevertheless, when I started the process with braces, it was astonishing observing the slow but subtle changes of my teeth. Watching this process uphand enabled me to learn about the impact a smile possesses. When my braces were removed and I saw the results I couldn’t help but smile.

When I was but a boy, I had excelled in plenty of things in life. I had excelled both in the classroom and on the field. As well as maintaining an A average I held the title of star athlete in football, skating, and gymnastics. There was even talk about me continuing my educational career at Yale. However, once a damaging game of hockey occurred one winter knocking out most of my upper teeth, my life took an unexpected halt. For weeks, an ghastly pain resided in my jaw and false teeth were also being fitted.

Before I started going to Dr. Harrington, I was extremely self conscious about my overbite and my buck teeth. I always noticed how people on TV had straight teeth, and I wanted mine to be similar to theirs. Growing up, my parents stressed that first impressions are very important. Keeping that in mind, my parents said that your smile is one of the first qualities that people notice. Therefore, when they first took me to Dr. Harrington's office, I was excited to start my journey to get my perfect smile. The first step

An adult who has crooked/misaligned teeth may avoid smiling, which could cause others to view him or her as unfriendly, serious or distant; furthermore, due to lack of confidence in his or her appearance, he or she may avoid social interactions. Adult braces are designed to correct these problems; thus, improving his or her self-confidence.

I was thrilled when my parents agreed to my birthday request and that they could finally afford orthodontic treatment. It was during my initial greeting with Dr. Philip Benton in McColl, South Carolina my decision to become a dentist was made quite clear. To me he exemplified such a confident, charismatic, and calm demeanor; the type of person I longed to be since my personality was introverted based on my past experiences in school. When he walked into the room he

Have you ever looked at the state of your teeth and thought, “A dentist won’t be able to fix this. It’s too much.” Have you ever had a dentist try to fix a problem in your mouth, but you never really felt comfortable with the solution?

I was blubbering about how I was going to wear dentures the rest of my life, and how I was going to look so ugly without my front teeth. My grandparents kept trying to reassure me, but I wasn’t hearing any of it. I was a bit of a drama queen at that moment, but can you blame me? I mean I had perfectly straight teeth before this happened. Yet, here I was holding my front tooth in my hand. The other front tooth was hanging on my lip making me look like Nanny McPhee in the beginning of the movie. We tried as quickly as we could to get up those stairs and into the car.

This summer I had a five hour surgery to correct jaw asymmetry. While the physical pain associated with six bone fractures and four titanium metal plates was almost unbearable, the hardest part was not being able to be myself. I didn’t look like myself, feel like myself, and couldn’t do many of the things that I love. While my summer was objectively dismal, the whole experience helped me realize who my true friends are and what was important to me.

With my increasing interest of studying oral health, I have started to become a pre-dental student and finishing some prerequisite courses at the North Seattle Community College. With a better understanding of how dentist works in our community, I have begun shadowing at Smile Now Dental Clinic. Dr. Anwar has showed me many dental procedures and I have learned that how important is perceptional skills on a successful dentist. Simply from examining X-rays to the implant procedures, these works required a dentist to pay attention on the position of implant, predict bone growth rate, and then move on to the final step by fitting a modeled crown on the implant. I learned that

I remember myself sitting near a little block with letters and my mother teaching me the name of each of them. She starts to sing me a song to help me to memorize the alphabet. It is so funny singing the ABC song. At that instant, the door opens, and my father enters the room. That is the first thing carved in my memory, and each time when I think about it, I conclude that we are the best family in the world.
