On Wednesday I had another adjustment and I got some not so great news!
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
On Friday April 28 I will have had braces on for 2 years and my ortho told me I'm not even close to being done at all!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
I didn't think they were coming off soon at all as my estimate was 3-4 years but he said I definitely won't finish by then and he has no idea when I will!
He was looking in my mouth and got excited that my second impacted canine had come down and attached the wire through the bracket and chained my four front teeth together!
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
He also tweaked my bottom wire to level out some teeth! I got silver ligs and I like them!
He told me that he had really been struggling with my case because it was very difficult!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
You know that's not really what you want to hear when your paying him to fix your smile!
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
He also just realized that I still had one more baby tooth and that the permanent tooth is also impacted!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
It is my second bicuspid (i think!
![wink :wink:](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
) and that will be my third impacted tooth. which means I need another surgery!
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
How many people have three impacted teeth? I mean I really didn't think it was possible!:lol: I scheduled that for Thursday April 27 because he told me to do it ASAP! That is such a huge disappointment!
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
That means I have to get that exposed and sit there and wait for it to come down when it feels like! I thought I was done with pulling on impacted teeth, but I'm not!
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
It just gets really tiring and that will definitely add to the time in braces!
The thing is that my sister who got braces the same day I did is really close to being finished and he thinks that if she wears her rubber bands she could be done in 2 months!
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
My parents keep telling her just 2 more months, but what little string of hope do I have to hold onto?
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
More than 2 more years!
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
HE told my dad that we have made progress and we will just have to keep trudging through this! Real optimistic don't you think?
Sorry! Guess I just needed to vent and a little bit of support!
![wink :wink:](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
Just real disappointed with this!
Thanks!
