I went for my 14mo adjustment yesterday. If anyone had seen my post about my "cursed" bracket, they ended up putting a ring type bracket on it (do NOT know the technical term for it) you can be sure it won't be falling off, but now asthetically it wont look as nice whenever the tooth decides to fall into line. I really don't care all too much though. I'm supposed to go back in 2 weeks so they can put a wire and start reigning the sucker in!
As for the "arch" my bottom finally no longer looks like piano keys!!! I even got a powerchain, which hurts, but I honestly don't mind. Pain is progress.
A rather impressive fourteen months! Congratulations! I'm sure that band will give the extra strength needed to bring that lateral into line, pesky thing sure was hiding way back there!
