To get to the appointment; like half a week.

In the chair getting them put on, like 2 hours due to a few small issues (was supposed to be 1.5 hours)
Lots of crimes here

1. The upper molars bite too far ahead of the lower molars

2. Missing teeth #s 9, 14, and, 29

3. Open bite

4. Upper midline left of center

5. Lower midline right of center

6. Upper and lower teeth not straight

Sentence - 24 months, turned to 27 month.

Braces removed since 11/06/17

not sure what is typical, but I had consultations with three places over the last 3 weeks. I decided on the one to go with last week and have impressions and spacers done in a little over a week with braces to be put on two weeks after. It could have been faster but needing to get a root canal/crown fit in next week before the impressions are done.
