"Closing the case"

#1 Post by starzin »

Hi again to all my "Braced buddies"
I'm here again in the hope that someone will be able to answer my question regarding "closing the case".
I've been in braces approx 2 1/2 years now.
I started out with Damon 3's.
They were taken off--I still really don't know why???? :shock:
I'm now wearing "traditional braces"
I just had a single extraction last month.
I just went to my ortho for an adjustment.
He's, unfortunately very vague and uncommunicative.
He said we was pleased with the progress that I was making.
He told his dental tech that they were starting to "close my case".
I asked him if that meant I would be done in approx 6 months.
He didn't answer me.
I know this is a very vague question, but does anyone have an idea of how long a period of time that they are taking about when they begin to close the case.
I'd appreciate, as always, any input/information you could give me.
Thanks!!! :wink:

Starzin, you must be a very patient person. After 2 1/2 years I think it is only fair for your ortho to answer you question. Hopefully 'closing the case' means that you are near to completion but I think you have every right to get an answer to your question so perhaps you should pin him down on this.
