Hi Brandon,

Wow, great movement! I love a journal with lots of pics.

Good luck and keep us updated!

Well, I'm scheduled for 4 extractions next Friday. I'm having 2 bicuspids on the top and 2 on the bottom removed.

The expanders did as much as they could do, but it just wasn't enough.

No big deal. I've taken the entire day off.

well, it was more blood than I was expecting, but other than that it was cool.

I kinda liked the crunching sound the teeth made as they left my jaw

Yeah, I'm weird like that.

The bleeding finally stopped about an hour ago, so I've inhaled some taters, mac n cheese, and a gooey gooey brownie.

I'm going to see Iron Man later today as a celebration of losing 4 of my pre molars.

The Movie was great!

I'm feeling fine and eating normally.

I get chains on Tuesday morning. I'm not sure if he'll bracket the rest of the lowers or not.

He did say that results would come quickly at this point. I'm guessing he plans on closing those gaps ASAP.

Here's today's pic.

I had chains put on bottom. I might have the bottoms fully wired in 2-4 weeks.

I had a new wire put up top. The wire has some springs, which I assume will push some of my teeth back towards my molar.

The extractions never hurt, but let me tell ya --- going 4 days with no wires then getting this stuff on is BRUTAL.

Advil has been my best buddy today.
