a couple of questions (wee bit long with some history)
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:04 pm
Hello, I have been in my damon 2's since November '06. I had previously asked my ortho re: temporary debanding for a week, for a holiday in august, he was very non-commital (sp) in his reply, so I figured I would let it go until the next adjustment. Well, at the last adjustment I asked again and he told me (much to my suprised delight) that he would be debanding me early (treatment time was estimated at a year) on July 20 if all the tweaking goes as planned. I had prior to being braced (about 10yrs ago) had some bonding and contouring done on my upper 4 teeth (which my ortho is well aware of as I have asked him at every appointment, when he wants to get rid of the old bonding) and he had always replied, later. Now my question is, if he addresses the bonding on my next appointment on July 9 (10 days before debanding) how on earth can that space that would exist after bonding is removed , even if it is small, come together in 10 days? Could that be corrected with a retainer? He also is planning on doing a frenectomy, which I assume will help with the front top space not returning. Do you think that it is possible he should have addressed these things earlier? I am scared to make too much of an issue of it, as I really want to be debanded for my Aug trip. I know that I will probably need some cosmetic addition like bonding added anyway, due to the extra rounding of my top left tooth (sorry guys, no pics
) but I was hoping to get rid of the old bonding between the top teeth as the normal spacing of those 2 teeth seems to be not straight, now that everything else is straight
. Do you think that a powerchain can close the small space in 10 days?
Thanks guys, sorry it is so long![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
