First news is that my ortho decided to retire.
I don't know if I should feel good or bad about it. The new ortho will start to work with my teeth from next time, although this time she came with my current ortho to get familar with things. Yes, it's a she, pretty young, looks Indian to me... I'm not sure how much trust I should put into her but at this point what can I do? 
I complained about my current ortho in this forum before, about his not talking to me and leaving as soon as he can. But he seems to have quite a few experiences and he's got the recommendation from one of my colleagues. Oh well...
This time my ortho surprisingly talked to me a lot! (I had prepared to ask him a lot of questions before he checks my teeth in order to make him talking, according to kiwi's suggestion). My ortho talked a lot while he came in with the new ortho. So I got the chance to ask all the questions I had wanted to ask.
So these led to ...More news: They are going to put lower brackets on next time! They are going to take off the molar buildup next time!
Another new thing is that this time my ortho put in a new wire with two loops at the back molar position. He said this is to make the arch longer since I have crowding teeth. And the new ortho agreed to that. Actually the new ortho seems to agree with all the plans. So I'm hoping things work out smoothly....
End of my report.
So I have to put on some waxes. I haven't used wax for quite a while but it's definitely called upon this time. 
Great news! Sounds like things are going into places for you. Good luck with your new ortho and a lot of progress with your treatment.
