I had an adjustment today and finally after ten months the forsus spring is gone along with the spring along the bottom of my bottom teeth and i don't have to wear the elastic anymore. I was told that my midline is now perfectly centered. All i got was powerchains the whole way across the top and bottom and some progress pictures taken. My ortho said that now we are in the home stretch and we are in the detailing stage. He said he just wants to let things settle now, I go back in four weeks. I was just wondering though (i was too excited about gettting the spring out and forgot to ask) my next appointment i was told would be 40 minutes but i have no clue what they will do then. They never tell me how long an appointment will last so now im a little curious because thats a pretty long appointment usually they only last between 5 to 20 minutes. Anyway, sorry about rambling i'm just excited. My estimated treatment time is 18 to 24 months.
ok, im just hoping to get lucky and be out of them by the end of march. I just got overloaded with good news like getting that spring out that i couldn't think straight enough to ask.
Since you are in the setteling stage they will probably be taking lots of measurements of you rbite, and doing little tweaks here and there. Your appointment can take up to 40 min, but might not take that long. March is right around the corner!
