Hello all,
So I am pretty new to this and have been on the messages board but this is my first time finding the stories board

so here we go….
I am excited to have started my journey some details I have already shared on another post

They day of my consultation I was fitted with my upper arch set that moved rather fast however my ortho requested that I have my bicuspids extracted before fitting my bottom arch.
Extractions took place 12/6
Here are extractions after a few days healing not so gross:

A week later I came back for what I thought was going to be a bottom set fitted however I ended up with a rather neat configuration set to pull my canines back into desired position see the power chains connecting to a button rather than a bracket.

There was a lot of dull aching pain in my mouth for a few days however that has subsided and I am feeling much more comfortable.
There was also some rubbing of wires against my cheek but with a few days of wax that too has become less of a pain to deal with.
