just wanted to share with people who would understand my excitment. Went for adjustment today (long gap as my ortho has been off having a baby) and not only did she say i was done with the elastics but then she said "and i think we can get rid of that quad helix expander". Oh the absolute joy. I've had that in for just over a year and it feels absolutly wonderful to have it gone. Can't wait to have a really nice meal sans expander
you're lucky...my ortho gave me elastics for christmas. as if i need something else in my mouth. now i have 2 elastics in front and 1 one each side of my top molars.
Congrats on the progress and the removal of that gosh danged helix! I was sooooooo happy to have mine off!! Soon you'll be able to really taste food again!
