April 25th - 2nd Adjustment
All I can say is OWWW!
I went in and sat in one of the chairs (My orthos office has 4 chairs in a large room, devided by half walls). Dr. J came over right away and took a look. He jokingly asks me "So are these things working or what?", he then told me that things are going great, and my teeth are really moving. *YAY*
I got a new wire on top, he said what thickness it was, but I don't remember... the assistant just told me that it was slighly stronger than the last one.
I chose
Metallic Purple Ligs for the bottom, and Clear ligs for my tops. and for the first time I don't have metal ties on my bottom laterals anymore... I'm so happy because they were scratching up my bottom lip and causing me a lot of grief!
The bottom laterals are now attatched directly to the archwire, the ortho called this "Engaging"...how romantic. About a few hours after my appointment my bottom arch hurt A LOT! I looked in the mirrow and saw that one of the laterals has come into alignment in the arch! 1 wayward lateral down 3 to go

My new obsession is running my tongue along the back of those teeth, cause it feels so cool that they are in a line!
I'll post pictures soon!
My teeth are really hurting, but I'm getting excited because things are really starting to move!
