ok so yesterday was my first adjustment. I cant believe i was already given elastics to wear.
here is how my teeth are now:
here is day one:
here is how my upper jaw current looks like and the weird curvature of the lower jaw which needs to be pulled in by elastics:
the rubber bands didnt hurt me at al once i got them on. my appt was in the morning and i had them on for the whle day. i was fine throughout the enitre day until i went to sleep. i woke up in the middle of the nite because i felt a little pain. it was not pain like root canal pain, it was pain from entreme tension which is hard to describe:
yeah i am still shocked as to why i am already in elastics. i guess it is because i keep telling the doc that i cannot cloe my bite properly and its already been a month. hehe.
