I started my braces adventure

[Dunnyet]

Greetings! Quick update here- just over seven months into my braces adventure. My last visit to my orthodontist started with a panoramic X-ray. Then she repositioned three brackets and one molar band, which is really annoying as it’s rubbing on the inside of my cheek now. Good news, no more bite plate, bad news, bite blocks instead. New ligature colours- pink, Mediterranean blue and yellow! And new plan - one upper space ( extraction many years ago) that we were going to widen for an implant will now be closed instead eliminating the need for an implant. My guess is this will lengthen my time in braces, but time will tell. Overall, so far, so good!
Cheers you lot!

Hi All, eleven months in, got new steel wires fitted as well as power chains upper and lower teeth. Only front four teeth on top are chained, green power chain. Lower front six are tied together, blue power chain. Still have bite blocks on my teeth.
So far, so good. Some tenderness with the new wires, but tolerable. No pain , no gain, right?
Be good, and remember to bring your bling and smile!
Cheers!
