Hey guys! I went to the ortho's on Tuesday + just thought about giving an update.. Firstly the 4 springs i had to close my premolar extraction gaps have been removed. (well 3 of them have as 1 gap isn't as closed as the others) Next the 'blue' elastics that i used to wear (class 2) ive been told not to wear anymore because the desired goal has been achieved. But now i have 'red' elastics which are stronger then the blue ones.. but i have to wear 1 elastic in a zig zag configuration! I think its to shift my midline but im not sure. By the way.. anyone know what a 'dead lig' is? they kept on going on about it at the ortho's and I was a bit confused i have a load of extra wires added for some reason where the springs used to be aswell... thats the update! pics are coming soon hopefully!
