My bite is changing!

#1 Post by blondie111 »

OK, this might not be big news to any of you, but to me it's AWESOME! For the first time since I got braced about a month ago, I can finally bite down on both sides of my mouth! I have only been able to eat on one side of my mouth, since the other side (back teeth) didn't touch. Now they touch! There really is something to this orthodontic crap! :wink:

Just had to share that. Thanks for reading!

Congratulations, blondie!!! Even though you might not be able to see it, it is great to know that progress is being made already! I have been brace for 10 months and my bite is still changing evey day for the better!! Sometimes its a little awkward but I know that it is a step in the right direction!!

Ditto!
Mine changes all the time too. Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse. As long as it is 2 steps forward and only 1 step back, I am fine!
Braced on 8/05 - Braces off 12/06

Yayyyyy!
Good for you!
I'm hoping it'll be the same for me cos my back teeth don't meet either when I bite down (I found that out yesterday when they X-Rayed my jaw)

Just don't get used to it, lol! If you're anything like me, your bite will change back and forth many times.

Fantastic news Blondie ...
My ortho laughed on Wednesday when during one of the many times he asked me to bite ... I replied 'where?'. I have a double bite, plus with teeth seeming to be moving all over the place ... finding a place to bite is sometimes a major challenge. :
I hear you too, Karen. Nothing feels too comfortable for me right now either and next month is my 2 year anniversary!
