So I asked him about how I was doing in terms of progress and schedule. I told him that my wedding is in July and initially at consultation we had talked about me having a late fall wedding, but my fiancee and I decided to move it to summer. My ortho had said we can take them off for the wedding day, but I am wanting to get them off earlier for engagement pictures...and just get em off for good! My ortho said in 4 weeks I will go in for a tightening (usually my appts are 6 weeks apart), and then 4 weeks after that (2 months from now) we will take xrays again. And then we can discuss schedule. I guess he wants to see how my roots are doing.
Yesterday's appt was just a rechaining and I am wearing my elastics different. They are the same on both sides with the top "4" tooth connecting to the bottom "4" and "6". My "5" teeth in all quadrants were extracted. Oooh I am excited. I hope I can get them off early. I'd like to get them off sometime in May and by latest June - a month before the wedding. However, I was originally scheduled for 24-28 months. If I got them off in June that would be 17 months. But I am not sure what else needs to be done, just some tweaking here and there. My bite is starting to look really good and my teeth are totally straight, gaps pretty much closed
