Well I didn't take any pics as you can see lmao but I have recently but they are still on my camera waiting for me to put them on the pc.

I have had my bottom braces on now for a week and I HATE them with a passion lol. I have a horrid taste of metal in my mouth and they don't look so pretty compared to my top ceramic ones and I can't close my mouth properly at the moment.

Well that's enough moaning haha I'm not one to complain about much. I went to my hygienist the other day and she said my teeth were the cleanest she had seen in a long while so that made me feel better. At least I'm doing something right which is good for me :wink:

Thought I'd come here and update.

Things are moving fast....blink and you'll miss it lol. My ortho said I've been one of his most easiest patients because eveything is moving exactly how he wants it and super fast. Dunno if thats a good thing or not because fast movement to me means unstable result.

I've got slight TMJ at the moment but that will settle when my bottom teeth move to where they should be and my bite improves.

My hygienist said I'm cleaning my teeth too well and that's why my gums are a bit sore and not because I have plaque or tartar, which is what I thought. So I've got to ease off on the vigorous brushing, flossing and poking around :oops:

Bye for now x

Congrats on the good news from your ortho! Hopefully the fast movement will turn out to be a good thing, and you'll get your "sentence" shortened because of it! 8) We can hope, right?? :wink:
