Well yesterday was adjustment 3 - was looking forward to it as in th epre-Christmas rush it had been nearly 8 weeks since the last one...but my was I comfy!! Not anymore!! On the plus side I did get brownie points from the ortho for how clean they were...and he's not the effusive kind so it was nice to hear.
New goodies:....new rectangular archwire on top.a bit more difficult to 'slide' into the brackets, nearly needed a sledgehammer! The springs are back...now I've got springs on my molars because the little suckers twisted in the 8 weeks...grrrr! But the orthos sweeest Christmas pressie to me......he put spacers back in and i'm stuck with them til Jan 15th!! Couldn't beleive he'd do it over the holidays...so now I've got a conference presentation tomorrow and a formal dinner (and even mashed potato is hurting!!!), followed by spacers for Christmas and my birthday
And to look forward to in Jan.........banding my furthest back molars and putting the lovely rectangle wire on the bottom. OK I'll stop moaning now, I know its all progress and its all good - it just hurts like hell today, I'm out of ibuprofen (because I got overly comfy in the 8 weeks) and live an hour from the nearest shop - I'll live. And the rectangular wire sure is shiny 
He just depressed me a bit, I'd like some comment that things are going well but he just grumbled and made mysterious comments about what a challenge my bite was going to be
I know they are wooky but hey, they can't be THAT odd!!! Whatever he has done this time my teeth don't meet anymore (CHristmas diet).......I know its silly but that concerned 'hmmmm this will be difficult'....isn't necessarily what you want to hear........how about 'gee they have straightened up nicely'So theres my first whingy post..........can't believe I'm moping so much because they look great...i'm just sore and hungry (yes even liquids are hurting right now)...so apologies for being a sook, just thought I'd get more sympathy here than from hubby
