my braces progress w/ pictures

#1 Post by aznfayeth »

I got clarity top braces on 12/5/04. It cost $4200, one time payment, and it should take around 2 years. My main problems are 3 crooked canines and a deep overbite.

You can still see the colored dots, hehe.

Stained ligatures, yuck. The right canine seemed to have moved a little.

My face is really swollen from the extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth on saturday but I still kept my adjustment appointment cause I couldnt stand the stained ligatures. My orthodontist didnt have color ligatures so he used tie wires instead.

I am really surprised cause there are gaps where there wasnt yesterday that I can slide my floss into easily. I guess that's why my teeth is hurting.

My ortho said they don't affect treatment time at all.

Had my 2nd adjustment today. I'm kind of disappointed because I waited 1 1/2 hours but he only changed the tie wires on my canines and the elastics on my molars. I hate how my upper teeth is splaying outward but the good thing is that my lower braces can go on next visit, yay. My left canine is really hurting now, eek.
