3 weeks into treatment
Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 5:19 pm
Hey gals, no worries on the pictures. It's always good to see such nice teeth.
Well, yesterday marked my third week with braces. I took some pictures but won't be posting them this time.
I'm guessing that 3 weeks after getting them in, or after getting an adjustment, there isn't much happening anymore and (for the most part) whatever movement was going to happen has already happened. Overall I've noticed that my top teeth have moved a bit and have spaced out even more. I can't see the change, but I can feel it from flossing. It's always been pretty easy, compared with the bottom teeth, to floss up top. Now it's even easier, so there has been some movement.
Meryaten, what you mentioned about the thinness of the lower wire makes sense and is something I had considered, but then didn't think much of it since I don't really know much about braces in the first place. I hope my ortho steps it up a notch on my next visit.
Next Thursday I'm scheduled for my first adjustment. This first milestone seems to have come rather quickly, so it's a good sign that the whole time with braces will really fly by like most people tell me.
Eventually these two years with braces will look like a small blip in time, but for now I'm glad you're all here to share it with. Thanks for stopping by!
