Does anyone get REALLY tired just after an adjustment.. Like the day after?
I've noticed the past two times i've been exhausted by about 24 hours after..

hi everyone.. Thanks for the support yet again!! 
This weekend has been quite painful, but I think i'm over the worst of it now..
I'm still tired but not quite as bad!
Just got a few aches and brushing my teeth is now becoming easy again!
I've noticed some movement in the past two days aswell. Which is a bonus..

Thanks guys... I'm really glad I took those photo's last night... The difference is really noticiable from those angles and now whilst it doesn't appear like there is much movement from the front on, I realise that there has been alot going on behind the scenes!!!
Yes, i'm really hoping that the Ortho might start to attach the two top ones at the next visit.. Thats in just over 3weeks so I think there might be enough room there to start pulling them forward....
Fingers crossed!
That will be a big milestone for me if that happens.. Those were the teeth that I was really ashamed of and the whole reason why I have learnt not to smile
since I was about 13!!!
It seems so stupid to me now to think that for all those years i've practiced the art of not smiling.. Only every now and again I would do it. But now, i'm going to have to learn to smile properly.. All my friends and work colleagues tell me that I have this awful habit of putting my hand to my mouth when I smile.. I must stop doing it!!

Thanks Belmikry
Well all is quiet at the moment... The springs have caused pain on and off. the gaps are definately opening up to bring the teeth into position..
I'm having pain today with my jaw on both top corners. I think my wisdom teeth are moving down a bit more again! Well either that or i've punched myself in my sleep
I've had about six mouth ulcers in the past 10days. Really strange as its the first time i've really suffered with them since having the brace on. Been saltwater rinsing etc.. Right in the corner of my lips. Very strange.
I've also noticed that my top left canine is now perilously close well touching the bottom ceramic bracket.. It wasn't like that a couple of days ago. In fact there was a good couple of millimetres gap. I've called the Ortho, but he thinks I will be ok until my adjustment. He was expecting that to happen.
I'm also on holiday from work from Thursday for nearly 3weeks... Yippee..... I'm really looking forward to it. I've had an absolutely dreadful 12 months. The worst of my life. So i'm just looking forward to a break to recharge my batteries and try to relax a bit!!!

you should ask about lifters on your bottoms molars so your canine doesn't rub against the lower brackets/wires- it could chip or potentially delay movement 
Braces off- 12 months 1 week in braces- estimate 18-21 months!

Thanks... Its just touching now. I did call the ortho office before he went on holiday this week and mentioned it. They told me that they would call me back if there were any problems but not to expect a call if he thought it would be ok. I really should have called back but I was so busy at work I forgot.
He is now away until the day before my next adjustment so I hope it will be ok until then...
