I wish I could see the pictures! Is it because I've just joined that I cannot?

Month 5 update tomorrow? I think if you keep going at this rate, next month will be you in retainers

So its been a while since I have posted an update! I have just been super busy! anyways, not much has changed since my last post except that I upgraded to a thicker wire on top... My last rogue tooth still hasn't been able to join the archwire yet as there wasn't enough space for it at my last appointment, but I'm holding thumbs that there is enough space for it at my next appointment in the 21st October

I have attached a few update photos - excuse the yellowness of my teeth! I think it's cos I used the flash?? Haha I don't think they seem that yellow in real life - at least I hope that's not what other people see hahaha

So today I saw my ortho again and FINALLY after months of making a gap big enough for my rogue tooth to fit into, the gap was deemed big enough!!!!!

I was then fitted with a button behind the rogue tooth and a power chain was fitted around the back of the tooth and the teeth on either side - and the process to bring my tooth forward has begun!!!!!! next step will be joining the rogue tooth to the archwire once it has moved far enough forward and then yay, straight teeth!!!!!

Pain so far, is bareable, but it is worse than how it has been after adjustments for a long time.. Nothing an ibuprofen can't fix also I don't mind the pain, as it means my tooth is moving to where I need it to be hehehe

Pic to follow as soon as I see movement!
