Hey you have damons too ,
My wire popped off once and I figured how to open the bracket door pop it back and lock it,
it was a hassle. I have those springs too and there haven for food particles !

Cheers

wallywest - yep I have damons.

The wire only comes out of the ends (the very last bracket) - which doesn't open, its like a tube.

So I just slide it back in. Gotten very good at it. hahaha.

And OMG yes the springs take so much food into them. But I don't have any anymore. YAY

Your archwire is really straightening out! Nice progress.

Thanks

Yeah, I can't believe how straight it has gotten!

Especially in the first couple of months...

And I can't believe how much that crooked tooth has turned around. I like licking it

hahaha

Hi everyone. I am about to leave to go for my 3rd adjustment. Hopefully they are changing the wire today! Scary...

Here's my progress, will let you all know how I get on at my adjustment.

I am back

I have a new, thicker, wire on top and bottom

But I am totally embarrassed.... I had this thing on the back of my bottom tooth that I was SURE the dentist put there when I went there last because thats when I first noticed it - and I had said to mum how it was annoying me....

Well the orthodontist said it was tartar and scraped it off! So now I am grrrr - what am I paying the dentist for? I went for a clean, and he left THAT on there??? Gross!
And it's not like it was a tiny bit, it was quite thick.

So now I feel stupid and embarrassed.

Actually - on the bottom I have TWO wires, they over lap at the front. He told me this, but I thought I misunderstood him. lol..

Not sure why I have two.

Ask and you shall receive

Unfortunately its a bit hard to see because of the flash, but its on the bottom row, between the two front teeth that it overlaps.

haha sorry. I have no idea. LOL.

I wonder if it may be to stop those front two from falling over? see how they have got quite a lean happening.

Yeah, I am not worried at all.. lol... I think he knows what he is doing - moreso than me! lol

I have to tell you though, he is not my favourite person right now. My mouth feels sooooooo sore!!!
