I just got a spring on today - it was my second adjustment.
So can someone clarify what this spring does?
My bottom teeth look like Aznfayeth's - but what happened between 11/1 where there seems to be no gap between the teeth and 11/4 where there is a gap?
My ortho is pretty pleased with my movement so far - that makes me happy!
the spring pushed the 2 teeth apart to make room for the one in between. The spring created more space than actually needed(not clear in the pic 11/1).
