Here are some pics of my progress from after my 2nd adjustment. My adjustment was on Feb 22. I'm very excited. I got two new wires, a spring, and a powerchain on my two front teeth. It was pretty tender for a while, but I'm back to my normal self now. Check out my AWESOME gap! I wonder how long I will have to live with this thing. It's the space where my missing lateral is.
You guys are great thanks!! I'm very exited about all the movement. Especially since the pain has subsided. I was very happy with the ligs "extreme green". My tech said that was popular among the 14 year old boys....(I'm a 28 year old girl!) Oh well, bring on the green beer! It's so cliche to match your ligs to the holiday/season, but I just can't help myself. It's funny it seems that all the action happens in the first few days after the adjustment and mine are 8 weeks apart. The waiting for the next one is l o n g. I'm so glad to have a place to share my progress in an atmosphere where we are all exited and curious about one another. My friends/family are just about sick of "looking at my gap!"
