As some of you may recall I got a really nasty (well not as nasty as some) but pretty nasty config of elastics at my last appointment. They are upside down triangles from top to bottom canines.
Well I wore them as much as I possibly could and the ortho was totally AMAZED and said I was getting my braces off next month. That's right folks, next month! I do have to wear the elastics until then but they are coming off!!!
My original time estimate was 18-24 months and I am getting them off at 16 months.
I am so happy I just can't believe it. My BIG GIGANTIC CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!! I promise I will post pics when I can - around Christmas time.
