Anyway, so since I have had 4 extractions and had coil wire placed for spacing. Things are moving rather quickly I think. My canines dropped more into place after the extractions. My bottom teeth however,
have spread out in a zig zag manner (does that make sense?) and the two middle teeth stick out more to the front than the rest (I swear I have not been pushing them with my tongue.) It's terrible. I sound funny when I speak because my tongue does not hit my teeth at the bottom since they are so far out that I have a lisp I'm afraid I will have until things begin to align. When I have my mouth closed it looks like I have tobacco stuffed in my lower lip because it's "bumpy." The orthodontist was hoping to have the coil wire make enough room to remove it at my last visit and put on wire only...but unfortunately that was not the case. She added activators to my wire for more room and I go back Aug 24th. Hopefully I can get wire only then and my teeth can start lining up. Someone who didn't know I had braces made a comment the other day while we talked. She was like "Oh. What's wrong with your mouth? Did you hurt it??" because it's so hard to talk with all this coil in my mouth (I have some coil at the top too) that it looks funny when I talk!! UGH! I was so embarrassed and explained I had recently had braces put on and they were like "Oh." 
That made my day, NOT. I felt completely odd and ugly the rest of the day. So here I am venting on arched wire because I'm hoping that all this coil and all these gaps mean that soon I will be lining up my teeth and speaking normal again...It gets worse before it gets better right?
