Hey everyone! Well, I am over 7 weeks into braces now and today I had my very first adjustment!!!
I am very pleased with my progress/treatment so far. My teeth look so different from when I first started even though it hasn't really been that long at all! I can't wait to post new pictures (later today!)
So at my appointment today, this is what happened:
- Got a new bracket on my front tooth (remember, it came off last week at my spacers appointment when they were changing my ligs.)
- They also removed the 'button' from my incisor that is coming forward and put a bracket on it.

I am happy to report the orthodontist said it's coming forward quite well...it's almost there! When she was telling the assistant what to do, she said something about getting that incisor to "jump."
- I got new, stronger wire...a 14 I think she said?
- They took out my spacers and put bands on my back molars.
- Molar build ups are still there
- Got new ligs, yay...my teeth always look so good when I get brand new ligs!
- I got to ask all the questions I have been dying to know/ask but always forget about...(I wrote 'em down while I was in the waiting room)
- One of those questions was what my treatment time would be (I was confused about that part) It might be less than 2 years she said!! (Originally she said it could take 3 years max!!)
- I got a copy of my treatment plan/diagnosis (everyone here seems to know all that info and I didnt know mine...but now I know)
- It sure hurt when she was putting the wire on the bottom...I even took 800 mg of Motrin before.
Well, check back later...I will be adding new pics!
