questions about pendulum appliance

#1 Post by Red Raider Fan »

I have a pendulum appliance in place but wanted to know from others who have had them if the progress was "visible" after 2 or 3 weeks? I have had mine for 2 weeks, ortho is using it to move a tooth that tipped after an extraction and to move the other side back for a deep bite or overjet, I can't remember which one. He called it a fixed bite corrector in my treatment plan. Anyways I go back to see the ortho in 1 week and was curious if he will see any sighns of movement then. I will be getting the final molar band then. Molar bands were place on the top two molars and the bottom two on my left side and the front molar on my right. The spacers did not get me enough space for the last molar so I had to wait 3 more weeks for this last molar band. He told me I would get my bottom braces in two more visits. Hopefully I will find out the exact date next week. The pendulum does not really bother me that much now that i have gotten use to it.
