PICS! 8 months in...

#1 Post by MrsCharisma »

When my ortho walked in yesterday, I asked him, "WHAT did you do to me last time?!?!" :) That was the first adjustment where things were really actually painful .

This adjustment, he removed the reverse curve archwire from the lowers and didn't change the upper wire at all. One of my main issues was closing a diastema. The front is closed and was redistributed basically to between the incisors and canines. The left side is almost closed the right side still needs work. He said once that's closed we can start changing the angles of teeth.

and I got PURPLE ligs this time! :)

Thanks everyone! :-*

Sunshine Ray - yep, pearl on top. I used to get smoke on bottom then decided to start getting not-too-bright colors :) I like it!

It's going even better than I expected. Of course when I started I was hoping to be finished early. Now I'm just looking forward to my smile when it's over. :mrgreen: :-* :mrgreen:
