Almost 9 months

#1 Post by Cyndi2016 »

I had a adjustment Friday in which I kept the same wires and have top and bottom powerchains, I was also given elastics to work on my overbite. I'm excited to see the progress they will make but oh my they sure are painful. It isn't as bad today but it's still pretty uncomfortable, tight, a mouth full of sores, and they make my mouth feel so full. When I take them out it feels like the braces minus the elastics is nothing and I can't believe I even complained at all before this. Just keeping thinking about the end result :)

Thanks :) I was told 18-24 months and this summer will be a year. Closer to 18 months would be great.

Loove this!! I hope I'll be at your same point after 9 months.

Did your dentist put your top and bottom brakets at the same time?
