Haven't updated in a while. Great progress with braces. :) Class III occlusion has been corrected to class II and on the road to become class I!! :) :) Top archwire was changed last Thursday to 18/25, don't know what that means :P Lower archwire is now in 'stabalisation' mode, meaning I have two metal springs on either side of the arch. Mhm, isn't scary as it sounds! Au revoir for now!

Got elastics today! :) Strangely, only for 16 days! Have to change them three times per day, but the short time frame compensates for this. Next month is my 'final wire' day and only a few months to go till my debracing day! *excitement*! :) :) :)

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! :) Greetings from NZ :)

So 20 months into my braces journey, I finally popped up again onto this forum, been a little busy these days sorrryyyy. The end is near, not near enough. I am getting impatient, and slightly bored with all these adjustments. Elastics are back on again, second molar upper to bow hook lower teeth, difficult to reach but managing. The other day, I somehow got courageous and asked my ortho about my debanding date. His reply? Vaguely meant 4 more adjustments ish and apparently, the final step is to get the teeth into the beginning metal wire, the uber flexible one so the teeth can settle down for 1 month.

This has been such a loooong journey. Do I regret it? No, absolutely not, I am excited for my new straight teeeth!!! No more being a gap-ed tooth girl :) :BigTeethGrin:

DEBANDING DATE SET! 18th Feb!!! WOOOOT! The end is near!

Braces are coming off 2 months before planned because I am moving countries and it is farrr too difficult at this stage to find orthodontists and not to have to pay an extra huge cost. Ahh I am taking my impressions for retainerstomorrow! Clear Overlay at night with wire at back of lower teeth. :HugeGrin: :HugeGrin: :HugeGrin: :HugeGrin: :BigGrin: :BigGrin: :BigGrin:
