Quick Update

#76 Post by chillin-in-grilz »

I think my tooth is coming down, the wire across seems a little shorter lol, and the wire is starting to poke out again, and that was in just a week or 2, plus it seems that I can wiggle the tooth :) I heard your teeth loosens as it moves.

BEFORE Day 1

DAY 1 REGULAR---->LEFT---->RIGHT
Image Image Image

6 WKS REGULAR---->LEFT---->RIGHT
Image Image Image 6 WKS UPPER---->LOWER Image Image



I did my 1st attempt of uppers, lowers, profile pic; it looks so bad, I hate my pictures. On my normal pics you can see that shadow below my chin because it is sunken in. Plus I noticed my incisor is not hiding behind my front tooth anymore!

Hey Brace Face - Just read some of your blog for the first time and I have to comment on your first post where u described those extractions!!

Well done for going through with it, I would have completely freaked out!! I had one tooth out and fainted before they even started!!!

Hope everything goes well for you, will definately keep reading.

I am so happy, it took me a while to notice it, but once I did I was so estactic, that I can see my incisor now. My ortho is right big changes in the last 2 months.

No, my first adjustment went rather smooth. In fact I was in and out in 15 minutes with a new wire and new colors!

Goodluck with your adjustment.

I just had my 1st adj. I found it very uncomfortable on the most sensitive teeth, i.e. the ones that were moving the most.
I hope your adj. goes well and I look forward to seeing your pics.
It looks like the archwire placement has moved on that canine. :D
