first adjustment (pics)

So yesterday was adjustment 1...just as well coz those clear ligs were gone a lovely shade reminiscent of dirty old elastic bands on mail!! Was trying to be inconspicuous (hence the clear) then realised that with two bloody great springs in the front of ym gob I was far from inconspicuous lol so went for silver this time...lets see what red wine does to these babies!
Adjustment was sore but quick....only sore as teeth were still sensitive coz moving a lot...funny watching ortho trying to hold tooth, hold two tools and stretch the ligs at the same time - we ended up with ligs flying everywhere and him smacking me in the teeth with the pliers.....not quite the desired result lol. But at least he tried
Had just got back into the real food (it took 5 weeks to be able to chew again) and now we are back to much...think this one will fix up a lot faster though, damn, there goes all that nice early weight loss
So here's a piccy of day one in braces for comparison...and a piccy of today. Am pretty pleased. Looking forward to my wee shy laterals joining their buddies on the wire some day soon..............noth that it has anything to do with wanting rid of the springs.....
2 front teeth in a straight line - who'da thought lol
