Ionikas story

[Ionika]

left Tad is burried in the gum, can't see it..

[sjs8906]

Wow, just read through your story, sorry you a painful experience with your one of your TADs! That left TAD is REALLY up there! I have TADs in almost the same places as you except much nearer the teeth.

Good luck with everything!

[Ionika]

tonight the TAD that was up there failed...
all day long i felt something bothering me up there but i figured it is some food and i will flush it out later this evening using my trusty seringe...
but...
it was the Tad itself comming along my gum... i took it out myself and cut the elastic holding it..
i will cal my Ortho in the morning but i guess its not an emergency and can wait till my nex appointment, on wednesday..


oh...i have to mention the relief i felt moving my gums totally free


here it is the annoyance:

[Ionika]

today i got my first class 2 elastics... i complained about my overjet and she said she would give them to me right away...

for now i got medium ones, but i guess they will be getting stronger...anyways i feel like the one she fitted me there were weeker then the ones i got home...but they are easy to fit and for now dont hurt as i thought ...

[Ionika]

yesterday went to my general dentist to fix a small cavity that showed up between 2 molars... she said i ve had it for some time but it wasnt visible, bu tnow when i have some gaps between them it was perfect timing to fix it

anyway, my left lowers are completly closed allready, my right lowers are on their way...
still waiting for my vampire canine to reach its final position...allomost there, 1 mm away ... this week it's my grills 1st anniversary..

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary!!! Your teeth look amazing!!! I love it when people post pics--the progress is so encouraging to me--with only 1 month down so far!

yesterday, the 1 st of june my waky canine reached position, touched my molar...

yuppyyy.... it's still out line, a bit to the outside in comparison with the others but the worst is over...the biggest jurney my teeth had to take is over.....


**** bigger gap between left lateral and canine**...

[Ionika]

well, i got the most bracketed canine around, or what? !
thursday i got a second bracket on my wacky canine...on the back of it...the bracket holds an elastic to my lower molar...cause my canine had tilted inwards toward my tongue...

as my Ortho says, "We have to improvise"


and recently i got a waterpick...oh the joys of evoiding the flossing...
my floss seemed to get stuck everywhere and do whatever, except removing plaque..so i gave up and bought a waterpick... i brush and then use it...where does all that stuff hide?!!

[belistic10]

your progress is so amazing looking so good now, going to look fabulous when finished!! I already hate flossing (well attempted flossing) i never did it before so it really scares me i am thinking of buying a waterpik, its $200 here but so worth it i reckon!!

[Ionika]

wow it's been so long since i checked in, here

meanwhile i'm almost ready, i have some things like a question mark welded (yes, welded) on my upper archwire, next to my canines.. that were used to vericalize my teeth since they were leaning inside...

and my lowers are being finished as we speak, minor tweaking is necessary

kisses i'll be back with better pics, this is a recent one, not orthodontically taken but it shows a little my question marks

[Ionika]

SOOO i'm almost done

here's an update





third photo is all that is left to do until debrace... that tiny space has to close...


after devrace day i have to think about some gum surgery to repair my upper latteral gum, where my unusual tooth used to be... and my gum doesnt know to grow that "V" between my incisor and my lateral..

[Viking]

Wow! Amazing improvement!

[lilone]

Looks amazing, Ionika! You must be so happy with your results. Good luck with closing that final gap! Do you have a debrace date?

[Ionika]

the uppers will follow soon i guess since he only are waiting for a 1mm gap to close, and it is closing already!!!!
