How late in your treatm. you got your second Xray and pics?
I am 11 months into my treatm., and at my last appt. my ortho told me to come back in 2 weeks for a new set of Xrays and pics. He said that he needs to compare them with my initial ones.
Any of you experienced anything like that? If yes, how soon or how late in your treatment?
He told me not to wear my elastics anymore, an he makes small bends in the archwire...I am getting excited thinking that I might be only a few months away from the finish.

I don't think you get them during your treatment, normally.. but I had to get them for something else.felicia wrote:I am 11 months into my treatm., and at my last appt. my ortho told me to come back in 2 weeks for a new set of Xrays and pics.

Do you mind my asking what the small bends in the wire are for?
I had x-rays 10 months or so in.
I am at 21 months now and still a few months to go for sure.
I don't know why he did the x-rays, never asked. I only guess it was just to get a more informed looked at my progression to see if any changes to the plan need to be made.
And I had bends in my wire for leveling.

I think around 10 months into my treatment I got the xray done. They told me they do it to check the roots to make sure it wasn't touching. They had to readjust my brackets at my next adjustment after the xray to fix them.
Braced for 23 months 1 week and 3 days!
I had 4 extractions and all my wisdom teeth removed.
I decided to get removal retainers so it will be easier to floss.

He made bends to adjust the height of a lower incisor and also a lower first premolar. He said that they were not as tall as my other teeth.VA5 wrote:

X-rays mid-treatment are used for many reasons including:
-checking for resorption
-checking for root parallelism
-checking for unerupted teeth
-routine monitoring of the bone and structure of the jaws
Photos are a legal record of treatment. Very few doctors taking photos at every appointment, though there are some that do, particularly if they lecture or present at meetings and schools. Otherwise, it is not uncommon to only have one set of photos taken at the end of treatment.
