I am now at my 1 year point in braces! Just had an adjustment yesterday (and the ortho was NOT gentle! Nearly tore my mouth apart!) and now that I've tried flossing again, the threader keeps getting caught between 2 objects. After taking a closer look, I've now noticed that there is an archwire behind the chain where there was always one, and now there is still another wire running a bit ABOVE the chain! What is that? That's never been there before and the ortho never told me anything was going to be done during this adjustment.
Does anyone know what this second wire might be?
Double arch wire?

Double arch wire?

Sorry, I don't have a camera to take pictures. Wish I did. This other wire I was talking about runs just above the archwire, and looks like another archwire. I'm surprised the ortho didn't tell me a word about it. It seems to span across all of my upper teeth. This was put in when he replaced my upper archwire during my last adjustment a few days ago.
